DS-26S is a complete vacuum degassing system combining a professional quality 26L vacuum chamber with a high quality EC4 Compact Composites Vacuum pump resulting in an entry-level degassing system without the usual compromises on quality or reliability.
For an entry-level system, the DS-26S degassing starter kit still delivers excellent performance, pulling down the chamber to 99% vacuum in less than 3.5 minutes - making the system suitable for all but the most reactive (fast-curing) silicone rubbers and casting resins.
If you want the quality and reliability of a purpose-built degassing system for the best possible value, our DS-26S Starter Vacuum pump Degassing kit system is the unbeatable choice.
Please note: The EC4 is NOT suitable for use degassing materials with a high moisture content (such as plaster) or for vacuum drying without the use of a suitable inline moisture trap.
Further Information
Chamber Features & Engineering
The chamber is manufactured from sturdy 4mm mild-steel and finished with a durable grey powder-coating. A clear 20mm acrylic lid provides perfect visibility into the chamber during the degassing operation whilst a custom silicone seal ensures reliable and fast sealing of the chamber.
The lid includes a handle for easy removal and is designed so that it can be hung safely on the back of the chamber during loading and unloading. High quality valves, fittings and a glycerine-filled vacuum gauge complete the chamber and ensure years of trouble-free service.
Ready to Run
The DS-26S is supplied with everything you need to get degassing right out of the box. Simply attach the vacuum valves to the chamber, connect the pump to the chamber using the supplied vacuum hose and fill the pump with oil before use.
