Vacuum Forming Machine

• Vacuum formers in the dental industry are used to imprint opposing bite and fabricate other dental appliances like sports mouth guards, bleach trays and orthodontic appliances.

• These formers can use a variety of thermoplastics depending on necessary thickness and flexibility needed.

• A vacuum former should be composed of a vacuum pump and a heating element

Also known as thermoforming

Procedure

Step 1• Insert selected sheet

resin material into the clamping frame. The S or screw-handle clamps allow adjustment of the frame according to the thickness of the material used.

Step 2

• Place model or cast on vacuum plate.

Step 3

• Slide clamping frame upward until it locks into position. Turn main switch on.

• Allow appropriate time (usually 2-4 minutes) for the material to heat sufficiently to achieve optimal sag for vacuum forming.

Wait 2-4 minutes!

• Most other materials are heated until they sag 0.5-1 inch

• Milky, semi-transparent coping material should be formed when it becomes clear and barely begins to sag.

Step 4

• When the desired sag has been achieved, lower the clamping frame over the model. Activate the vacuum. A smooth, controlled lowering is recommended forthin materials.

Step 5

• Run vacuum motor for 10-20 seconds for thin plastics and 20-40 seconds for thick materials to ensure adaptation. Turn off main switch. Allow material to cool until it is comfortable enough to handle.

Step 6

• Trimming of the appliance.

• The Machine III has been a staple in Keystone Industries’ long-lasting line of highly recommended vacuum former machines.

• more power than any other dental vacuum former, which means the production of more accurate and definite dental thermoplastic appliance.

• This machine is used to process bleaching trays, sports mouthguards, implant stints, temporary splints, custom impression trays, denture bases, copings, temporary crowns and bridges and orthodontic appliances.

Machine III

• the Machine IV’s compact and lightweight design takes less space than other vacuum formers and is can be easily picked up and stowed away when not in use.

• The vented heated cover allows heat to quickly dissipate, allowing the machine to cool quicker.

• A locking handle allows varying the height of the material play during the heating process.

• Built-in safety timer that shuts down the heater if not used for 15 minutes.

• The base of the machine is made from super strong, lightweight space-age thermoplastic material that is designed for high-temperature application.

Machine IV

• The Single Chambered Vacuum Former is an economical answer that can still excellently fabricate most thermoplastic appliances.

• The all-aluminum construction eliminates rusting and the heating element is symmetrically engineered for uniform heat distribution.

• The hexagonal post keeps the frame from rotating or sliding.

US$ 316.00

• An extremely powerful, accurate, and quiet vacuum forming system utilizing compressed air-powered suction.

• Utilizes ultra-high powered venturi suction to create highly accurate vacuum adaptations

• Unique table uses either standard flat plate or included steel bead basket for multiple modelpositioning options

Accu - Vac™ Precision Vacuum Forming System

• Improved Classic High Performance Vacuum Forming System that Allows Both Traditional Flat Table and Accurate Bead Basket Adaptations.

● High Performance Electric Vacuum Forming System Dual-stage electric vacuum motor provides powerful suction and highly accurate adaptations- no compressed air connections required!

● Heavy Duty Construction Solid for maximum durability and long life

● Convenient and Safe Design Unique housing design prevents motor contamination, shields heater, and promotes ergonomic operation

Sta-Vac II Vacuum Forming System

• This new attachment works in conjunction with keystone industries vacuum formers to create a better fitting dental appliance.

• The dome uses positive pressure during vacuuming, allowing for a form-fitting mold of thermoplastics.

• The pressure dome hooks into any existing air compressor lines to provide extra pressure when adapting thermoplastics over an existing model.

• Works great for making laminated mouthguards, heavy-duty splints, hard/soft dual laminated splints, proflex base plates, model duplication, orthodontic retainers and more.

KEYSTONE - Pressure Dome

• The powerful pressure unit provides superior adaptation for dental plastics using laboratory or operatory internal air compressors.

• Because the unit has no motor, it is compact and very quiet. Also, the vacuum pressure from an office compressor is usually greater than the pressure generated from smaller vacuum units.

• The greater the pressure, the better definition and adherence the dental appliances will have.

KEYSTONE - Proline Air Vac 2000

• Powerful vacuum system for outstanding detail with anyapplication. Electronic temperature controls andthermostat supports symmetrical heating. Motorizedclosure, digital timer, and pre-calibrated settings forcommon uses make operation simple.Accurate results processing bleaching trays, sportsmouthguards, orthodontic appliances, and othervacuum-formed dental appliancesBeyond InForm
