CUSTOM ENGINEERING · REFERENCE PROJECTS
For applications where standard product configurations are not sufficient, we engineer vacuum chambers, vessels and auxiliary systems around the required volume, connection layout and process conditions.
CUSTOM-ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS
Each project is defined by evaluating the target pressure, process conditions, chamber volume and connection requirements as a complete system.

View ProjectREFERENCE PROJECT 01
A custom-engineered intermediate vessel that safely captures excess resin during vacuum-infusion processes and protects the vacuum pump.
The resin trap is installed between the vacuum line and the pump to prevent excess resin from the mould or production line from reaching the vacuum pump. It collects entrained resin and liquid droplets in its own vessel.
This protects the pump from resin contact, keeps the vacuum line clean and supports safer, more efficient system operation. Multiple connection points can be configured to suit different vacuum-line arrangements.
REFERENCE PROJECT 02
An integrated chamber, pumping package and instrumentation platform for plasma, coating, testing and R&D processes that require a controlled low-pressure environment.
| Chamber dimensions | 320 × 300 mm |
|---|---|
| Chamber type | Vertical cylindrical vacuum chamber |
| Chamber material | AISI 304 stainless-steel body transparent acrylic lid |
| Vacuum level | ≈ 1.33 × 10−3 mbar |
| Chamber seal | L-profile gasket |
| Vacuum port | NW40 |
| Vent port | 1.0″ NPT |
| Vacuum-gauge port | 1/4″ NPT |
| Leak rate | ≈ 1.01 × 10−8 mbar·L/s (helium) |
High-vacuum chambers are used where the atmospheric gas load must be reduced and the process must run under clean, controlled conditions. Chamber volume, target pressure, process gas, material load and cycle time are evaluated together to define the main system architecture.
In ZEROVAC projects, the chamber, pump technology, vacuum instruments, valves, connection ports, sight glass, line components and support frame are engineered as one system. The final configuration and achievable vacuum level are determined from the actual operating conditions.
REFERENCE PROJECT 03
A 143 L horizontal cylindrical vacuum chamber designed for easy loading of larger components, a controlled process environment and integration of different vacuum equipment within one system.
| Chamber dimensions | Ø450 × 900 mm |
|---|---|
| Chamber type | Horizontal cylindrical high-vacuum chamber |
| Approximate volume | 143 L |
| Vacuum level | ≈ 1.33 × 10−6 mbar |
| Chamber / lid material | AISI 304 stainless steel |
| Lid mechanism | Butterfly-type, double-acting hinged lid mechanism |
| Seal | Viton L-profile gasket |
| Surface finish | Glass-bead blasting on the internal and external surfaces |
| Connection ports | NW16 NW25 NW40 NW50 ISO100 ISO200 |
| Leak rate | ≈ 1.01 × 10−8 mbar·L/s (helium) |
The horizontal cylindrical design allows bulky components to be placed in and removed from the chamber easily. Its hinged lid mechanism supports safe, practical operation during repeated production and test cycles.
The AISI 304 stainless-steel body, Viton L-profile gasket and connection ports in multiple sizes allow the pumping, measurement, venting and process equipment to be configured around the application.
REFERENCE PROJECT 04
A compact vacuum unit developed to separate non-aggressive liquids carried into the vacuum line from air, collect them and discharge them under controlled conditions in glass, stone and similar machining equipment.
The system is designed for glass and stone machining equipment, as well as applications where non-aggressive cutting or cooling liquid may be carried into the vacuum line. The compact unit connects to the machine through a flexible hose. A ball valve at the vessel inlet allows the unit to be isolated safely during maintenance.
Air and liquid are first separated by the cyclonic arrangement inside the vessel. An external float-level indicator allows the liquid level to be checked visually; when the vessel is full, a level sensor generates an electrical signal and the collected liquid is discharged through an automatic drain valve.
Air that has been freed of droplets but still contains moisture then passes through a condensate-separator filter. A vacuum gauge on the filter indicates operating condition, while an air-admission valve supports controlled drainage of accumulated liquid. An auxiliary non-return valve and gas-ballast arrangement help reduce condensation and carry residual moisture vapour through the pump.
REFERENCE PROJECT 05
A custom system with a 1,200 L chamber, designed to mix liquids and viscous products in their drums under controlled vacuum and help remove entrained air and gases from the mixture.
| System type | Vacuum drum mixing system |
|---|---|
| Chamber volume | 1,200 L |
| Vacuum pumping speed | 65 m³/h |
| Ultimate vacuum | 0.5 mbar |
The drum is placed directly inside the vacuum chamber, allowing the product to be mixed under controlled low pressure without transfer to a separate process vessel. The top-driven mixing assembly is lowered into the product; mixing begins after the door is closed and the chamber is evacuated.
Combining vacuum and mixing in one system helps limit air entrainment during processing and remove trapped gases from the product. This supports safer operation and a more consistent, repeatable mix where air bubbles are undesirable.
The 1,200 L chamber provides working space for the drum and mixing assembly. The 65 m³/h vacuum pump supports a specified ultimate vacuum of 0.5 mbar.
Share your process, target pressure, working volume and connection requirements so we can define a purpose-built solution.
