5 CFM Automatic Vacuum System – Oil-Free Rocking Piston with Electronic Controller (ES5)

Part Number: ES5
5 CFM Automatic Vacuum System – Oil-Free Rocking Piston with Electronic Controller

The ES5 is a mid-range automatic vacuum system designed for vacuum pressing applications where increased airflow and convenience are needed. Built around the same 5 CFM oil-free rocking piston pump as the EP5, this system is paired with an Electronic Controller (EC) to provide fully automatic vacuum operation.

With the addition of the EC, the system continuously monitors vacuum levels and automatically cycles the pump on and off as needed to maintain consistent pressure. This eliminates the need for manual monitoring, reduces run time, and improves overall efficiency while delivering consistent, reliable results.

The oil-free rocking piston design provides clean, low-maintenance operation with no oil changes required and no risk of contamination. Its quiet performance and compact footprint make it a great fit for small to mid-size shops, hobbyists, and light production environments.

Key Features

• 5 CFM Continuous Flow: Increased airflow for faster evacuation and improved performance
• Oil-Free Operation: No oil maintenance and no risk of contamination
• Rocking Piston Design: Reliable, simple, and proven vacuum technology
• Fully Automatic Operation: Electronic Controller (EC) monitors and maintains vacuum levels
• Pump Cycling for Efficiency: Automatically turns on/off to reduce wear and energy use
• Consistent Vacuum Pressure: Ensures even bonding across flat and contoured workpieces
• Quiet Performance: Ideal for shop environments where noise is a concern
• Compact & Portable: Easy to move and integrate into any workspace
• Electric Powered: Plugs into standard shop outlets for simple setup

Typical Applications

• Veneering and laminating
• Large to mid-size vacuum bag pressing
• Bent laminations

Why Choose the ES5?

The ES5 takes the capability of the EP5 and adds full automation. Instead of running continuously or requiring monitoring, the system maintains vacuum for you—making your workflow easier, more efficient, and more consistent.

Bottom Line

The ES5 automatic vacuum system delivers a strong balance of performance and convenience. With increased airflow and hands-free operation, it’s an excellent choice for users who want more capability without stepping up to a larger rotary vane system.
