Positive process solution penetration of high density workloads
Effective cascade/rotational washing action
Rotation drain provides effective recovery and re-use of process chemicals
Rotation eliminates poor treatment due to air pockets
Available with Ultraseal Recycling Technology
Autoclave System Options
Sealant Transfer System (STS)
Workload is loaded into the autoclave with sealant in an adjacent tank. After the vacuum has been drawn on the autoclave, sealant transfers into the autoclave immersing the components.
Vacuum is released, forcing the sealant into the porosity. Sealant is returned to the storage tank under vacuum. STS machines are simpler to automate and benefit from well-conditioned sealant due to length of time the sealant is held under vacuum.
Vertical Transfer System (VTS)
Workload is suspended in a basket during the vacuum phase before being lowered and immersed in the sealant. The vacuum is then released, forcing the sealant deep into the porosity.
VTS impregnation machines offer faster cycle times with a smaller footprint.
Return Vertical Transfer System (RVTS)
As with the VTS autoclave the module permits the sealant impregnation process to take place in a single module without the need for a separate sealant storage tank, thereby minimising floor space requirements.
The workload is located on the RVTS platform during the vacuum phase before being automatically lowered in to the sealant (wet vacuum phase of the impregnation cycle). The vacuum is then released, forcing the sealant deep into the porosity. At the end of the cycle the workload is automatically raised out of the sealant in readiness for removal from the process module.
