Robinair 15600 Two Stage Vacuum Pump


[ Click D'pic 2 see detail ]

We use the Robinair 15600 to apply a vacuum to our 1' sq vacuum chamber used for silicone moldmaking and resin casting business. This is a solid pump and has held up well with daily use.

The 6 CFM capacity was the real selling point, as time is important due to the short work cycle of the materials we use. This pump gets us down to 28.5" in a hurry!

Highly recommended! If you've got more than one car that needs AC service, you need this pump. With some knowledge in automotive AC and a good guage/hose set you'll be able to evacuate, confirm vacuum and recharge the AC system. Amazon's price for this pump is a really good deal and it performs quite well. I was able to maintain a vacuum of 3 bars for hours. Save youself a load of cash by doing the labor and ride in comfort. I have used this pump twice so far, and it works very well. Pulls the system down very quickly due to the large displacement, so it doesn't have to work hard to get the job done. I am using it for automotive ac and that required a different fitting than the one that came on it, also found that on Amazon. The pump comes with a bottle of oil, I did not know this and ordered a bottle of oil, still not a bad idea as you should change the oil often for best performance.
