Model VS5314 vacuum sizing equipment Vacuum sizing equipment offers practical features to cut set-up time and increase productivity • Two-ply laminated glass lids: Allow viewing of the entire sizing process • 11 -gauge stainless steel tank construction for structural integrity-Interior bottom seams beveled for wipe-down • Precision adjustment across vertical, lateral, and linear planes • Retractable stainless steel drip pan slides beneath upstream end of vacuum tank during set-up, affording additional work area • V-groove swivel casters: Allow linear and/or unlimited in-plant mobility • Heavy-duty vacuum tank stabilizer bearings • Waist-height control panel Choice of vacuum systems Direct vacuum systems utilize an eccentrically-mounted rotor which throws water radially, forcing air and water to flow from the vacuum tank to a drain. This system develops the high level of vacuum necessary to overcome the melt flow resistance of heavier gauge pipe and moldings. However, a relatively high level of turbulence and instability limits its use to non-critical sizing applications. Venturi vacuum systems utilize the high velocity flow of water passing an orifice to pull water and air from the vacuum tank into a frame-mounted sump. This closed-loop system creates less turbulence and greater vacuum level stability than direct vacuum systems, allowing product sizing with greater accuracy. However, moderate vacuum levels limit their use to the sizing of smaller, lighter-gauge extrusions.
