55 Gallon Drum Vacuum Chamber - Abbess Instruments - Vacuum Chambers - Pumps and Systems

Large Volume Vacuum Degassing is made easy with our 55-Gallon Drum Vacuum Chambers

These Chambers are constructed of heavy welded steel alloy. Our customers find this to be a practical size for use in vacuum degassing, mixing and processing of large bulk containers up to 55-gal drum size. Vacuum mixing chambers can be used for a wide variety of material including, but not limited to: foods, herbs, papers, liquids, jells, powders, plastics resins, epoxies and many other parts and materials.

Industrial mixers use a shaft, screw, blades, ribbons, impellers or propellers to mix industrial materials. Our Industrial Vacuum Mixing System includes a heavy-duty 3/4 HP motor with continuously adjustable AC motor control for precise control over your mixing process. The in-vacuum capability allows a large quantity of material to be mixed and degassed for enhanced performance.

In-vacuum drum mixers and heaters can be ordered with your chamber (round top loading chambers only).

Mixing can greatly improve the degassing operation of almost all materials, a must for thicker materials and jells.

All chambers are vacuum tested to 29.92 inches of Hg or better (10-4 torr) and should maintain this for its life dependent on seal condition and customer use.

Performance Specifications

All performance specifications stated, including but not limited to, pump-down rates and vacuum levels make the following assumptions:

The Vacuum Chamber is empty.
The Vacuum Chamber and other system components are clean and dry.
The System is being operated at Sea Level
The ambient temperature is 18°C +/- 2°C
All system components, including those not supplied by Abbess, are appropriate for the system and are functioning properly.
The specifications are not impacted by the properties of your product.

If you require performance specifications for conditions other than those listed above, it is vital that you make this known to Abbess Instruments in writing. Generally Abbess Instruments recommends choosing chamber and pumping system qualities capable of achieving a theoretical vacuum at least an order of magnitude better than the desired operational vacuum.

It is to be noted that a specification described as '10-5 Torr' is a range, and means the clean, empty, dry chamber system is capable of reaching some undetermined value between 1.0x10-5 and 9.9x10-5 Torr: The (clean, empty, dry) chamber is deemed compliant whether its As-Built base vacuum is 1.0x10-5 Torr or 9.9x10-5 Torr. It does not mean that the chamber is guaranteed to reach every level within that range.
