Ultimate flexibility: 1 or 2 Vacuum Pumps and 1 or 2 Resin Traps
The Vacmobile 4S - the flagship model of the Vacmobiles MODULAR Series
- is the culmination of more than 25 years’ experience in manufacturing
vacuum systems for the fabrication of advanced composites.
Based on a series of interchangeable vacuum pump and resin trap modules, the
Vacmobile 4S is a continuous duty vacuum system that is customisable to suit
single vacuum level processes such as resin infusion and vacuum bagging
over pre-preg and wet laid material, or dual vacuum level processes such
as double bag infusion and RTM Light. With an optional interconnection
valve on a twin pump / twin resin trap system, interchanging between single
or dual vacuum level processes is instantaneous.

Flexible, scaleable….future-proofed
The Vacmobile 4S is a highly flexible and scalable module–based system,
housed on a 4-station mobile docking station. The system allows for the
simple installation of 1 or 2 vacuum pumps and 1 or 2 resin traps, giving
you the freedom to reconfigure the machine to meet the changing needs of
your projects. All modules are extremely easy to install, simply locking into
place without the need for tools. When infusing very large parts, the resin
trap(s) - complete with vacuum controls - can be removed from the docking
station and positioned remotely if required.

Machines with 2 vacuum pumps, 2 resin traps and the optional interconnect valve (as pictured)
allow instantaneous changeover from single vacuum level use to dual vacuum level use.

1. tInterconnect valve OPEN. The machine functions as a single vacuum level
system with up to 16 vacuum connections on the trap lids. In this mode, the
machine may be run on 1 or 2 pumps. This capability might be useful for:
•t Speeding initial evacuation of large bags using 2 pumps but dropping back
to 1 pump for maintaining vacuum
•t Having instant access to back-up pump capacity when working on high
value parts

2. tInterconnect valve CLOSED. The machine can function as 2 independently
controllable vacuum systems. In this t mode, the machine can be used for:
•t Dual vacuum level applications such as RTM Light
•t Providing vacuum to two separate parts to be independently infused or
vacuum bagged
•t Simultaneous degassing and infusion
