Impregnation Equipment

Impregnation equipment uses vacuum, pressure and/or wicking action techniques to drive sprayed on resins or coating materials into parts. In trickle impregnation systems, surface tension effects allow resins to be wicked or soaked up by the internal porosity of a part (like a sponge soaking up water). In vacuum-pressure impregnation equipment uses vacuum and/or pressure to drive resins or coatings into a surface after a dip, spray or trickle coating. Impregnation equipment is designed for sealing, filling or impregnating the porous surfaces of metal castings, stator windings, transformers or open porosity powder metal parts. Impregnation of P/M parts improves integrity and corrosion resistance. Impregnation of electrical or electronic components can provide electrical insulation as well as environmental protection.
