VACUUM TRANSFER RETROFIT SYSTEM
The REAL story on Vacuum Transfer
What is vacuum transfer? Vacuum transfer is simply the transporting of a board through a press, by using a vacuum to hold down the board against moving wheels or belts. This method is used instead of the customary pull rolls and collars.
