Suction and Vacuum Hold Down

Porous media and materials are the ideal solution to be used for suction and vacuum hold-down applications.

Vacuum cutting table covers are critical to the safe handling, precision cutting, forming, and printing of materials used in the manufacture of products such as textiles, electrical circuit boards, aircraft, yachts, cars, and high speed trains, and for printing applications.

Porvair Filtration Group has increased its vacuum hold down offering with robust new Vyon^® materials that allow not only precise cutting and printing performance, but also a robustness to prevent excessive scratching of the material. Therefore, our vacuum hold-down materials meet market needs through a variety of desirable characteristics including strength, durability, smoothness, and high porosity, achieving dependable results and excellent holding power.

This compliant, non-marking and yet resilient material has a high degree of  porosity, with  a very regular pore size distribution that, when vacuum is drawn through it, holds a wide range of materials both firmly and uniformly. This pre-flattened material can be welded into large sheets or loose rolled so that even the largest tables can be potentially covered in a single piece.

Porvair Filtration Group offers a range of Vyon^® materials that can be used to cut the following diverse materials:

• Rubber
• Leather
• Silk and delicate substrates
• Synthetic fabrics
• Stiff plastic and metal components.
