| NU-Matic |
|
Quality VAKuum Products, Inc. (Q.V.P.) announces the Nu-Matic, an all pneumatic automatic air-powered vacuum pump for VAKuum Pressing
Equipment (Vacuum bags or Frame Presses). The Nu-Matic is a Venturi style vacuum pump that does not require any electricity to control the
automatic on/off cycle of a vacuum press. Being all pneumatic means higher reliability than an electro/pneumatic device. The high reliability and no
electrical requirements make it attractive to overseas customers. Because of this higher reliability, the Nu-Matic has a 2 year warranty. In addition, the
MEGA-Industrial has a 20 CFM vacuum flow capacity, thus, twice the speed of evacuation of most other electric vacuum pumps used for vacuum
pressing applications.
The Nu-Matic has 6 models, which vary in vacuum flow (speed of evacuation) 1.6, 3.2, 5, 10, 15 and the new 20 CFM Mega-Industrial. They all attain the same maximum vacuum level 27” Hg (inches of mercury) which results in 1800 pounds per square foot of even and uniform pressure. Like other Q.V.P. air powered units, the Nu-Matic can be upgraded from the smallest to the largest without the loss of the original investment.

Quality VAKuum Products, inc, (Q.V.P.) has a large 126" x 66" x 6",
102" x 66" x 6", 126" x 66" x 24" and a 102 x 66" x 24" Vacuum Frame Presses
for shops requiring pressing of several flat panels at the same time or large
curved pieces. The 24" high industrial grade polyurethane top permits stacking
of several 5' x 10' or 5' x 8' panels in one pressing. This allows a shop to lay-up
the panels in place and close the frame lid without having to slide the panels into a
vacuum bag. The 24" high top also allows for a large curved form to be used in the
frame press. It's faster and easier for production of large work than using
a vacuum bag to press veneer on flat or curved substrates.
Q.V.P. has been making large frame presses as special orders for years and has added the large frame press as a standard item. Medium sized shops do not need panel production equipment that cost tens of thousands of dollars. However, they do need the capacity to do limited production of flat or curved pieces that are difficult and time consuming to do with a mechanical press or a vacuum bag press. Large shops with high speed panels production equipment have purchased the large frame press to do prototypes or one-of-a-kind curved pieces. As one large shop production manager said at the 1997 Anahiem Show,"We get orders for 500 flat panels and then order for 3 curved panels. We need to do them to satisfy our large account or we don't get the order for the 500 panels. Your large frame press allows us to do the curved work off line with high quality results." |

QP Quick Press |
|||||
Quality VAKuum Products, Inc. (Q.V.P.) announces a new Quik Press for vacuum pressing. A
lightweight, easy to move vacuum frame press that's always ready to use. For those who
need to press a few flat panels and do not want to set up your full size vacuum
bag. Designed to be stored ready-to-use, the Quik Press can be set up on a bench or
saw horses, loaded with a flat panel (2' x 5' max) and evacuated. The only set up
required is to attach a vacuum
line to the vacuum pump. Once evacuated, the Quik Press
can be moved to an out-of-the-way location (leaned against the wall, hung from hooks in
the ceiling or wall) while the glue dries, thus freeing up a bench or floor space.
The Quik Press was designed to meet the request of many vacuum press users who need to press one or two panels and do not want to set up their full size vacuum bag which takes up more space and time. Anyone with a vacuum pump can benefit from the Quik Press because of its ready-to-go, store-it-anywhere features.
