Vacuum Chambers 
& Systems

With vacuum degassing, volatile substances such as solvents or moisture are removed in a controlled process. Many materials need degassing to eliminate the negative effects of the volatile substances. The following negative effects may occur for example: bad smell, loss of adhesion when gluing, painting or coating. For degassing, the parts are exposed to a defined vacuum for a specific time. 

Simulation of high altitude testing for air transport is a mandatory requirement for many components. While there is pressure equalization in the cargo holds of aircraft, it cannot completely compensate for the pressure fluctuations. The pressure can fall below 800 mbar. In an electronic test plant, the components can be exposed to a pressure simulation test. Also significantly lower pressure levels can be simulated to test behaviour during a depressurization.

In aviation and space exploration some components such as electric motors are operated outside of the pressurized cabins. Product testing for function must be completed. With suitable vacuum feedthroughs, motors and other devices can be operated and tested inside a vacuum chamber

Components used in space must be able to withstand even much higher loads. For these applications, pressures of 10-6 mbar and lower must be simulated. To achieve pressures as low as this, a turbo molecular pump with a suitable backing pump is required.

Sensitive components such as wafers or certain medical parts must under no circumstances be contaminated with foreign substances or air humidity. The safest way of storing highly sensitive components is under vacuum. In the vacuum, your components are protected from all external influences. If required, the chamber can be ventilated with gases such as nitrogen. Storage systems usually consist of several chambers. The chambers can be operated efficiently with one vacuum pump. If required, documentation of the storage conditions can be integrated in the control. We can provide vacuum storage systems in all application areas.

The Thierry vacuum systems are controlled by means of the operating program specifically developed by us. It not only allows you to monitor the process but also to program and save a wide variety of process sequences. No matter how complex the requirements for your application: We develop, optimise and test your process to ensure perfect results.

With our patented aluminum vacuum chambers, we can implement practically any type of vacuum system and tailor it to your individual requirements. Our systems meet your process requirements, from the pressure range of low vacuum over medium vacuum up to ultra-high vacuum. Depending on your needs, we use different pumps such as a rotary vane pump, roots pump, membrane pump or turbo pump, either independently or in various combinations.
