- Compact, bench-top unit with integral vacuum pump
Description
The IU30 is a self-contained unit designed to meet the needs of researchers for high quality encapsulation and impregnation of specimens with synthetic resins, while offering both simplicity of use and ease of cleaning.
The unit allows both sample and resin to be evacuated separately and enables resin to be delivered to the sample while it remains under vacuum. Admission of air to the sample chamber then causes the specimen to be impregnated with resin under atmospheric pressure - resulting in encapsulated samples of the highest quality. The unit consists of a robust metal base plate, on to which the internal components, resin and sample chambers, and vacuum system are mounted.
A removable metal front panel facilitates set-up and cleaning, and a rear casing of rigid PVC houses the control system and integral vacuum pump. The sample and resin chambers are securely sealed by a toughened glass lid, which is raised for access to the chambers or for cleaning to take place.
Applications
The IU30 is ideal for impregnation where the material types are too soft or friable for processing from the raw state e.g:
- Soils
- Concretes
- Cements
- Clays
It is of particular use to laboratories with a high volume requirement for impregnated material and for those looking to impregnate large format samples prior to further processing.
