A vacuum sizing apparatus with a controlled vacuum is provided. The vacuum is precisely controlled by the use of a variable speed motor driven vacuum pump and a step motor controlled vent valve. An electrical circuit containing a microprocessor coordinates the speed of the motor driven vacuum pump with the position of the vent valve to give precise vacuum control within the vacuum chambers of the sizing apparatus. A closed sump tank contains water for the water system of the apparatus and is maintained at the same vacuum level as the vacuum chambers within the sizing apparatus. |
