maintaining mechanical strength

Vacuum pressure impregnation

Impregnation is crucial for both mechanical and electrical strength. Different types of resin are used for the different impregnation methods.

To achieve optimum manufacturing results, we support you in the selection of methods and resins.

The VPI method ensures maximum availability of the machine.

    • 10 to 15 air changes per hour (volume of the entire hall)

In line with the highest quality standards

Production processes

First step: Preparation

First drying in the hot air furnace. Preparation of spots to be protected, e.g. with silicone grease.

Second step: Impregnation

During the vacuum phase, air pockets in the insulation material are minimised at 0.15 to 0.7 mbar. Afterwards, the impregnation resin is guided into the vessel. The impregnation takes place at a pressure of 1.3 to 6 bar and lasts several hours.

Third step: Finishing

The impregnated material is cured in the furnace at a constant temperature for several hours. Afterwards, threaded holes etc. are cleaned of resin.

Balancing

Optimum manufacture processes result in maximum smoothness and minimise wear and tear.
