Vacuum Drying

Conventional drying methods such as high velocity air blow-off and hot air evaporation cannot always get parts 100% dry because water is trapped in deep passageways or in crevices. Vacuum Drying is an excellent, complementary technology to reach “100%” dryness. For vacuum drying, parts are placed in a sealed chamber and a vacuum pump lowers the pressure to virtually “0” such that the boiling point of water is lowered close to room temperature. Water instantly evaporates out of difficult areas.
