Description

HEXA-MNT-EQP-COLD-007 Vacuum Cold Mounting Machine The GHEXA-MNT-EQP-COLD-007 (Theta Vacuum) is a compact, integrated vacuum cold mounting system with built-in vacuum pump and transparent chamber, engineered for bubble-free, high-quality encapsulation of specimens using epoxy resins. Operating at 50 Pa vacuum, it eliminates air entrapment during curing—especially critical for porous, cracked, or intricate samples—while preserving the resin and hardener’s physical and chemical properties. The fully visible process, low-noise design (<50 dB), large 9.2 L chamber (Φ250 mm), and minimized odor emission deliver fast, clean, and reliable cold mounting results ideal for heat-sensitive or porous materials in metallographic, failure analysis, and materials laboratories.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the primary benefit of using vacuum cold mounting with the GHEXA-MNT-EQP-COLD-007? A: The 50 Pa vacuum removes all trapped air, forcing epoxy deep into pores, cracks, and microstructures—resulting in completely bubble-free mounts with outstanding edge retention and structural integrity.

Q: Which resins are best suited for this machine? A: It is optimized for low-viscosity epoxy resins designed for vacuum impregnation. G-Hexa supplies high-performance, bubble-free epoxies that cure reliably under vacuum while maintaining excellent clarity and hardness.

Q: How many samples can be mounted simultaneously? A: The large Φ250 mm × 9.2 L chamber easily holds multiple standard 25–50 mm molds (typically 6–12 depending on size), supporting efficient batch preparation in busy labs.

Q: Does the vacuum process affect the resin or sample properties? A: No—the system operates at room temperature with no heat generation, preserving the physical and chemical properties of both resin and hardener as well as the sample itself.

Q: Is the odor from curing resin a concern? A: The closed-container design significantly reduces irritating odors during polymerization, creating a more comfortable and safer working environment compared to open-air cold mounting.

Q: Why is the transparent cover important? A: The clear cover lets operators visually monitor resin flow, bubble removal, and filling progress in real time—ensuring optimal results and making the process intuitive and educational.

Q: What power and setup are required? A: Standard AC 220 V, 50 Hz single-phase supply (370 W total). Simply connect to a power outlet—no additional infrastructure needed. G-Hexa provides full setup guidance.

Q: Is maintenance straightforward? A: Yes—clean the chamber after use (easy due to smooth surfaces), periodically check vacuum seals, and ensure proper air venting. The integrated design minimizes service requirements.
