Key-Features
The flexible
upgrading
upgrading
With PIONEER you can start small and upgrade flexibly at any time. The vacuum press offers everything your heart desires when you want to process wood or wood-like materials into extraordinary workpieces. If you want to expand your offer with applications in the field of plastics processing, PIONEER can be expanded modularly. All modules can be added independently afterwards.
Key-Features
The gigantic
usable area for the
new plate size
usable area for the
new plate size
PIONEER has a gigantic usable area, which, already in the smallest variant of the 3 available sizes, offers a significantly larger usable area than ordinary vacuum presses. The usable area is based on the new Italian plate size, which is, starting from Italy, already being used nearly everywhere. The robust construction is torsionally stable and ensures absolute precision. With this uncompromising quality of results and flexibility, you are always one step ahead of the competition.
Key-Features
The membrane fast-
change system
change system
With the unique Columbus membrane quick-change system, a membrane change can be carried out in less than 10 minutes, which optimizes production processes, shortens production times and prevents longer downtimes. The stable frame guarantees a vacuum-tight membrane attachment and ensures the best press results and production reliability. The system is compatible with any Columbus natural rubber or silicone membrane.

High-performance
vacuum pump
Columbus installs 40 m³ high-performance vacuum pumps as standard to guarantee users absolute flexibility and reliable results. The almost maintenance-free, dry-running rotary vane pumps with automatic switch-off are 100% oil-free, which ensures clean and safe production facilities for people, materials and the environment. Another advantage: With the use of this powerful pump, no vacuum boiler is necessary, which makes the system leaner, more effective and more resistant.

connection
With PIONEER, users are not restricted to the size of the vacuum table with regard to the size of the workpieces to be machined. If a workpiece protrudes beyond the gigantic usable area of the vacuum press, an external vacuum bag can help. This is connected directly to the vacuum press (BASIC) and ensures feasibility for every project. Columbus vacuum bags are available in all desired dimensions.
