5 CFM Electric Vacuum System – Oil-Free Rocking Piston (EP5)

Part Number: EP5
5 CFM Electric Vacuum System – Oil-Free Rocking Piston

The EP5 is a mid-range electric vacuum system designed for vacuum pressing applications where increased airflow and performance are needed over entry-level units. Delivering 5 CFM of continuous airflow, this oil-free rocking piston pump is well-suited for small to mid-size vacuum bags and everyday veneering and laminating work.

This system is designed to run continuously or be manually monitored during operation. It does not include automatic vacuum sensing or cycling, making it best suited for users who are comfortable managing vacuum levels throughout the press cycle.

An Electronic Controller (EC) can be added to this system at any time to convert it into a fully automatic vacuum system. This allows the pump to cycle on and off as needed to maintain vacuum, improving efficiency and ease of use.

Built with an oil-free rocking piston design, the EP5 offers 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 shops, hobbyists, and light production environments.

Key Features

• 5 CFM Continuous Flow: Increased airflow for faster evacuation and improved performance over smaller systems
• Oil-Free Operation: No oil maintenance and no risk of contamination
• Rocking Piston Design: Reliable, simple, and proven vacuum technology
• Manual Operation: Designed to run continuously or be monitored during use
• Upgradeable to Automatic: Add an Electronic Controller (EC) at any time for automatic vacuum cycling
• 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
• Small to mid-size vacuum bag pressing
• Bent laminations
• Hobby and light production use

Important Note

The EP5 is a manual system and does not automatically maintain vacuum unless paired with an Electronic Controller (EC). For best results, it should be monitored during operation or run continuously throughout the press cycle.

Bottom Line

The EP5 offers a solid step up in performance from smaller systems, providing more airflow and faster pull-down while maintaining the simplicity of an oil-free design. With the option to upgrade to an automatic system at any time, it’s a flexible and dependable choice for growing shops.
