▸Description
The FZL-1 Vacuum Mounting Press is a specialised vacuum impregnation system designed to improve the quality of metallographic sample mounting. It is particularly suitable for porous materials, fragile specimens, cracked samples, composites, ceramics, mineral specimens, and other materials where conventional cold mounting may leave air gaps that compromise edge retention and structural support.
By applying a high vacuum before resin curing, the FZL-1 removes trapped air from the specimen and surrounding cavities, allowing epoxy or polyester mounting compounds to fully penetrate the sample. This process significantly improves edge preservation, minimises voids, and provides enhanced support during grinding and polishing.
The system incorporates a durable vacuum chamber, high-performance vacuum pump, and a rotating sample holder that allows multiple specimens to be processed simultaneously. A unique resin pouring mechanism enables pre-mixed mounting compounds to be dispensed efficiently into sample moulds while maintaining vacuum conditions.
Designed for use with cold mounting compounds such as epoxy resins and polyester castable materials, the FZL-1 provides reliable and repeatable impregnation results while remaining simple to operate. Its compact design and automated vacuum-assisted process make it an ideal solution for metallographic laboratories, research institutes, universities, and quality control facilities.
