A company restoring athletic equipment required a vacuum chamber that provided high vacuum performance, clear visibility, and easy top-loading access.
To meet this need, we engineered a custom system based on our 12″ x 12″ VH-Series cylindrical chamber. The design includes a centrally mounted 6″ glass viewport for direct observation and a hinged lid with U-gasket sealing for repeatable operation. Quick-release star knob clamps also allow fast access during testing cycles. With the appropriate pumping package, this vacuum chamber for athletic equipment restoration supports operation down to 1 × 10⁻⁶ Torr while maintaining a clean, durable stainless steel finish.
