Services
Vacuum Chambers
We design and manufacture bespoke vacuum chambers tailored to specific industrial applications, including steel, acrylic, and glass variants. Our chambers support processes like degassing, altitude simulation, and thermal testing, with compliance to ASTM and ISO standards. Each system undergoes rigorous leak testing to ensure reliability and performance.
Degassing Systems
Our vacuum degassing solutions remove air bubbles from materials like resins and silicones, preventing defects in finished products. Systems include high vacuum degassing kits and chambers designed for controlled expansion of materials during processing, ensuring optimal quality and efficiency.
Pump Servicing
We offer comprehensive servicing and refurbishment of industrial vacuum pumps, including DVP models, with on-site support across the UK. Our Thornbury facility provides component restoration, upgrades, and preventative maintenance contracts to extend equipment lifespan and reduce downtime.
Refurbishment
Our team refurbishes existing vacuum plant to enhance performance beyond original specifications at a fraction of replacement costs. Services include re-machining components, system upgrades, and annual service contracts to maintain operational efficiency for industries like aerospace and manufacturing.
Design Consultancy
We provide free design consultations for custom vacuum systems, utilising FEA to optimise structural integrity. Our engineers collaborate with clients to develop solutions for unique challenges, ensuring compliance with industry standards and delivering precision-engineered products tailored to specific processes.
