Compact vacuum system for smaller

composite parts
The Vacmobile MICRO 8/2 mobile vacuum system is suitable for resin
infusing or vacuum bagging small to medium sized parts up to about
20 m2 (215 ft2) in area, as long as the resin overflow from the part will be
less than 2 litres (4 pints).
While small in size, the Vacmobile MICRO 8/2 is a continuous duty machine
suitable for industrial use, field repairs, training/research and high quality hobby
composites. With a noise output of just 60 dB (A), the Vacmobile MICRO 8/2
is ideal for quiet environments. The MICRO 8/2 can be supplied in bench-top
format or complete with an optional mobile docking station [cart].

Move closer to your work

The Vacmobile MICRO 8/2 is lightweight and exceptionally mobile.
This allows the machine to be placed wherever vacuum is required.
The need for inflexible, expensive and leak-prone vacuum distribution
pipe work is completely eliminated. Vacuum quality and productivity
will both be improved.

Compact & lightweight without sacrificing performance

Although a continuous heavy duty machine, the Vacmobile MICRO 8/2
has a compact footprint, measuring only 373 mm (L) x 345 mm (W) x
468 mm (H) [14.7” x 13.6” x 18.4”]. It weighs in at just 20.5 kg (45.2 lb).
[Dimensions and weight exclude the optional cart.]

Low noise output for quiet environments

The Vacmobile MICRO 8/2 has a low noise output of just
60 dB(A), making this model the ideal choice for quiet
environments where additional noise would be undesirable

– training situations and laboratories, for example.

Small but tough for long lasting vacuum integrity
1 Optional toughened glass resin trap lid. Allows collected resin
level to be viewed at any time. Great for peace of mind.
2 Very effective O-ring sealed tubing connections.
3 Disposable resin catchpot for no mess resin removal.
2 litre / 4 pint capacity.
4 Aluminium resin trap body
5 Solid manifold block, mechanically keyed to the resin trap
body and Viton O-ring sealed. Cannot loosen or leak with use.
6 19 mm (3/4”) O-ring sealed O-ring sealed connection for
auxiliary resin trap.
7 Vacuum gauge.
8 Absolute pressure gauge connection.
9 Vacuum pump isolation valve, mechanically supported at
both ends. Cannot loosen with use.
10 Flexible connection to vacuum pump.

The Vacmobile MICRO 8/2 mobile vacuum system arrives complete with an integrated resin trap, vacuum gauge, vacuum
regulation, paper element inlet filter and motor overload protection. Robustly constructed from proven Vacmobile components,
including our unique O-ring sealed trap lid tubing connections, vacuum integrity is assured over a long working life.

Specifications
Vacuum pump PVR EM 8/B. 50 Hz capacity 8.5 m³/h (5 cfm).

Power supply 230 V ± 5%, 50 Hz single phase only. Sorry 115 V, 60 Hz pumps not yet available.

Vacuum level Adjustable from approximately 20% vacuum to the pump’s maximum vacuum: 20 mbar,
98% vacuum, 15 Torr, 29.3” Hg, -14.4 psi, -99.3 kPa.

Resin catch pot 2 litres (4.2 US pints).

Trap lid connections 2 connections in 4 optional sizes to suit the following outside diameter extruded tubes: 3/8” to
10 mm, 1/2” to 13 mm, 5/8” to 16 mm, or 19 mm to 3/4”. On all standard tubing sizes, high
integrity vacuum connections are quickly and reliably achieved at the trap lid via O-ring seals
on the outside of the tube. [Mastic is not required on tube joints.]

Trap lid options Pressed steel lid (catchpot contents not visible under vacuum), or toughened glass lid (which
allows catchpot contents to be viewed at all times). The toughened glass lid is recommended
for infusion applications.

Warranty Full repair/replacement warranty applicable worldwide.
