Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) Systems

HeatTek, Inc offers vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) systems ranging in size from 2'-0" to 14'-0" in diameter. Our VPI systems can be used for applications such as impregnating, sealing and insulating of electrical components.

Our typical vacuum pressure impregnation systems include the following:

  • Process chambers with hydraulically operated door and locking ring. All chambers designed for full vacuum and 100 PSI and include all pertinent safety devices and interlocks.
  • We offer bolt-down, davit swing chamber doors for chamber sizes 2’-0” to 6’-0” at a cost savings.
  • Storage reservoirs are designed for atmospheric as well as full vacuum service and come complete with an insulated cooling jacket.
  • High quality vacuum pumping systems.
  • Integral chiller / circulation pump systems that operate on resin temperature requirements.
  • Low speed agitators that operate via timers and come complete with vapor or vacuum seals.
  • NEMA rated electrical controls and wiring ensuring an operator friendly panel and process.

All of HeatTek's VPI systems are factory assembled and tested as applicable. They also include commissioning/training in your facility.

HeatTek, Inc offers a variety of options allowing the customer to customize their vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) system to meet both requirements and budget.
