Vac-U-Clamp is a manufacturer specializing in industrial vacuum presses for woodworking, thermoforming, and laminating applications. The FT-900M is a versatile, dual-purpose machine designed for small to medium shops. This model stands out for its ability to switch between veneering/laminating and thermofoiling, making it a cost-effective all-in-one solution.
Key Features and Versatility
- Veneering/Laminating Mode: Uses the standard silicone membrane frame to apply even pressure for gluing veneers, laminates, or forming projects. This setup is ideal for custom cabinetry, furniture panels, or curved components, with uniform atmospheric pressure ensuring bubble-free results.
- Thermofoiling Mode: Remove the membrane frame to access the heated platen for wrapping cabinets, doors, or profiles with PVC/foil films. It's optimized for short runs or testing, reducing material waste.
- Ease of Use: Switching modes is straightforward—no complex reconfiguration needed. Typical cycle times are 6-7 minutes for thermofoiling, depending on film type and color.
- Build Quality: Clamshell design with a platen-sized rubber pressure bag (no hydraulic cylinders required), ensuring reliable, maintenance-light operation. It's caster-mounted for mobility in tight shop spaces.
