Description
For easily achievable impregnation results, the Citovac provides superior capabilities and
trouble-free operation. Its spacious vacuum chamber and clear, user-friendly display offers great ease of use and is perfect for porous materials such as specimens for failure analysis, sandstones, soils, agglomerates, schists and concretes.
Perfect impregnation results every time
The superior impregnation results possible with the user-friendly Citovac are achieved effortlessly, due to its large vacuum chamber and even distribution of impregnation material. The Citovac ensures perfect impregnation of your specimens prior to subsequent processing - time after time.
Extra large vacuum chamber
With the Citovac, several specimens can be impregnated at the same time. Using 30 mm/1.25” diameter moulds, 10 specimens can be mounted; using 40 mm/1.25” diameter moulds, 8 specimens can be mounted at the same time.
Larger sized specimens can also be impregnated under vacuum, using a 200 mm/8” diameter mounting cup, increasing the range of uses.
Superior impregnation material filling
The use of a turntable allows easy fi lling of the mounting cups via the inlet tube. The rate of fl ow supplying the impregnation material is easilly regulated by the control valve. The effi cient design of the supply system offers the user spillage free operation.
To ensure smooth operation during material fi lling, the Citovac incorporates a holder for the mounting cups. The holder can only be used with accessory mounting cups 30 mm/1.25” diameter, specifi cally designed for the purpose.
