Description
The Qaadir Vacuum Forming Workstation is purpose-designed for prosthetic and orthotic (P&O) workshop environments. With its high-capacity vacuum system, mobile configuration, robust structure and electronic control interface, this station supports deep-draw processes, plastic forming and lamination under vacuum, as well as casting operations. Whether used for socket forming, thermoplastic sheet processing or mould lamination, the DR.5500 delivers performance and workflow efficiency.
Key Features
-
High Capacity Vacuum Pump & Tank: The unit features a 3,500 m³/h vacuum pump paired with a 50-litre vacuum tank for stable, sustained vacuum draw—ideal for large-format vacuum operations.
-
Electronic Control with Four-Way Vacuum Line: Includes a 4-way vacuum line manifold for simultaneous rigging of multiple forming stations or vacuum trays.
-
Workshop-Optimised Design: Built with sheet-metal construction, RAL 7035 & 7045 colour finish, mobile design (casters or otherwise) and 220 V / 50 Hz supply with CEE plug & socket for standard workshop power setups.
-
Deep‐Draw & Lamination Ready: Suitable for deep-draw forming, plastic sheet vacuuming, lamination and casting processes used in the P&O sector.
-
Sound‐Rated for Lab Use: Noise intensity level rated at approx. 65 dB, making it suitable for shared workshop environments.

Applications
In orthotics & prosthetics fabrication, the Qaadir Vacuum Forming Workstation is used for:
-
Vacuum forming of thermoplastic sheets (e.g., sockets, orthotic shells) where a large vacuum tank and powerful pump enable deep/large draws.
-
Lamination or composite forming tasks within the P&O workshop, where consistent vacuum and material conformity are required.
-
Casting workflows, such as resin or composite lay-up techniques under vacuum, reducing bubbles and improving laminate quality.
-
Multi-station workshop environments: the 4-way vacuum line allows several forming stations to be connected, enhancing throughput in busy labs.
Summary:
The Qaadir Vacuum Forming Workstation offers a dependable, high-capacity vacuum solution tailored for P&O workshop demands. With large tank volume, robust vacuum capacity, multiple lines, and workshop-rated construction, it becomes a central asset for fabrication workflows involving vacuum forming, lamination or casting processes.
