The VacuPress® FlipTop table press is the latest development from Vacuum Pressing Systems meeting the demand for a heavy duty top loading vacuum press. Designed primarily for pressing flat panels as well as low profile curved work, up to 10" with the standard membrane, the FlipTop offers and easy access laminating system.
Place the work on the table, lower the frame, lock the latches and turn on the vacuum pump. The force of atmospheric pressure automatically seals the gasket to the table and at the same time applies pressure to the work. When the pressing cycle is complete, release the vacuum and raise the frame. Simple and easy to use, the VacuPress® FlipTop frame press brings a new level of speed and convenience to vacuum veneering and laminating.
