One of the largest projects currently in production.

This custom VPF vacuum press features a 4000 Γ— 1500 mm working area and is being built for PVC foil applications.

Projects of this size require much more than simply increasing dimensions. Frame rigidity, heating uniformity, vacuum performance and long-term reliability become even more critical as machine size grows.

Every custom project brings its own engineering challenges, and we enjoy solving them.

More updates coming soon as production progresses.

Production update from our workshop

Several projects are currently in progress at ISTRA Vacuum Presses.

Four presses are ready for shipment to Germany, while another custom machine with a 4000 Γ— 2000 mm aluminium working table is currently being assembled for non-standard applications and special production tasks.

At the same time, our team is working on a large and technically complex project, which we will be able to share more details about soon.

More updates from our workshop coming shortly.

ISTRA equipment is heading to Israel!

Another shipment is on its way to a professional woodworking workshop in Israel.

πŸ”Ή ISTRA VP-4300 β€” configured with extended hood clearance (600 mm inside) for high and complex parts.
πŸ”Ή ISTRA VPR-3500 β€” delivered for demonstration and local sales.

This project is more than just a delivery.

Together with our partners, we are preparing a future professional conference for woodworkers in Israel, where industry specialists will share real business experience, production insights, and practical know-how.

ISTRA will participate as an invited equipment partner, presenting vacuum press technology in real production conditions.

Last week (03.02-06.02) we visited Lyon as visitors.

Exhibitions like this are always a good opportunity to step back, see how the market evolves, exchange ideas and start new conversations with potential partners.

At the same time, this week marked a personal milestone for our company β€” a reminder that behind every machine and every project there are people, experience and continuity.

Since 2004, we have been building vacuum pressing solutions with a focus on reliability, engineering and long-term use.

New ideas, new contacts and the same commitment to quality β€” we move forward.

2025 β€” a year of production and custom engineering.

In 2025, our equipment was delivered to 25+ countries across Europe and beyond.

During the year, we manufactured 70+ industrial vacuum presses
and vacuum systems, supporting professional manufacturers
in different industries.

Most projects were custom-engineered,
based on specific materials, sizes and production requirements.

Since 2004, we focus on reliability, engineering-based solutions
and long-term use in real production environments.

Thank you to our clients and partners
for another year of trust.

Planned vacuum pump maintenance

Moisture and clogged filters are common reasons for unstable vacuum performance β€” especially in workshops with temperature changes and high humidity.

In this video we show:
– how to remove moisture from the pump by running it without a part
– why a 10-15-minute purge at the end of the shift helps
– how to check and clean the pump filter
– when the filter must be replaced

Simple preventive steps that help keep vacuum level stable and extend pump lifetime.

Custom vacuum press for heavy-duty applications

This project was built as a fully custom solution
for a client working with large and heavy panels.

We manufactured a VPR Series press with a non-standard working area of 3600 Γ— 1700 mm, designed for handling panels with a weight of up to 300 kg.

Key custom features:
reinforced frame construction for high loads
extended working area for large-format panels
custom lid opening angle β€” 65Β° instead of the standard 45Β°, improving access and safety when working with heavy materials

The press was produced for a customer in Sweden, a manufacturer of sandwich panels for industrial applications.

Each project is engineered individually,
based on the material, weight, and production requirements.
