Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Vacmobile 20/2 is a mobile vacuum system designed for vacuum infusion and vacuum bagging processes. It has been widely used since 2006 in various industries, research, and training environments. The system is ideal for laboratories and smaller scale infusions with resin overflow less than 2 liters.

System Features
The 20/2 system includes an integrated resin trap, vacuum gauge, vacuum regulator, particle filter, and motor overload protection. It is ready to operate on single-phase power with minimal setup. The system is highly mobile, allowing it to be placed close to the mold to maximize vacuum efficiency and reduce costs.

Enhanced Versatility with EVA Valve
The system now includes an End Vacuum Adjustment (EVA) Valve, which allows precise control of the vacuum level. This feature is particularly useful for managing high moisture content reinforcements or high volatility resins, preventing porous laminates.

Design and Durability
The Vacmobile 20/2 is designed for ruggedness and versatility, featuring a silenced vacuum regulation valve, instant vacuum release button, and a manifold machined from solid aluminum. The system is easy to maneuver and transport.

Specifications
The vacuum pump operates at 230 V or 115 V, with capacities of 20 m3/h and 24 m3/h respectively. The vacuum level is adjustable, and the resin catchpot has a capacity of 2 liters. The system's dimensions and weight are specified for ease of transport and operation.

Optional Accessories
Optional accessories include a glass resin trap lid for easy inspection, a Dual-Vac accessory for dual vacuum levels, and a clamping valve kit for vacuum holding applications.

Customer Feedback
Users have reported high satisfaction with the Vacmobile 20/2, noting its ease of use and practicality, particularly in laboratory settings for constructing small wing airfoils.

Vacmobile 20/2-1

Vacmobile 20/2 20 m3/h pump 2 litre catchpot The world’s vacuum infusion workhorse since 2006 The 20/2 mobile vacuum system, with its onboard resin trap, has been thoroughly proven worldwide for vacuum infusion and vacuum bagging type processes in industry, research and training. The 20/2 is a versatile workhorse for laboratories and smaller scale infusions where the resin overflow will be less than 2 litres (4 US pints). The 20/2 is a complete system; including an integrated resin trap, vacuum gauge, coarse range vacuum regulator, particle filter and motor overload protection. With the addition of oil (shipped with the machine), the 20/2 arrives ready to run on single phase power. There’s no complicated set-up or installation costs. Exceptionally mobile, the 20/2 may be placed very close to the mould, delivering maximum vacuum to the laminate and reducing consumable costs. Collapsed down for transport Now with the enhanced versatility of an End Vacuum Adjustment Valve (EVA Valve) An EVA valve is now fitted as standard to the 20/2 system. This precisely adjustable valve significantly improves the versatility of the machine, especially when used in conjunction with the optional absolute pressure gauge. With the EVA valve closed, the pump will achieve a high level of vacuum for the final stages of drying the reinforcement BEFORE infusion. With the EVA valve open, the pump’s end vacuum can be preset to any vacuum level between 1 mbar (99.99% vacuum) and 100 mbar (90% vacuum). The adjustable end vacuum allows previously difficult laminating situations such as high moisture content reinforcements, or high volatility resins (such as most ester type resins) to be managed without the risk of creating porous laminates. For example, if the vapour pressure of water is 40 mbar at the ambient temperature of the day, the EVA valve may be set to limit the pump’s vacuum to 50 mbar (or greater) to avoid water vapour boil-off. Proven ruggedness and versatility. Here’s why… 1. Silenced vacuum regulation valve 2. Instant vacuum release button for easy bag adjustment 3. Vacuum tubing restraint. Holds tubing from trap horizontally or vertically, as required 4. Valves mechanically locked to manifold. Cannot loosen or leak. 5. Manifold machined from solid aluminium block 6. Manifold physically locked to main handle of the machine Cannot loosen in service 7. O-ring sealed connection to hose from the resin trap 8. Convenient working height handle and controls – allows for easy manouvring and operation. The handle is quickly compacted down for
