摘要

The balloon (3) is clamped over the neck of the jig with the main part inside the chamber. After evacuating the chamber, the balloon is extended enabling the loading tube (21) to be inserted. This allows insertion of items into the balloon. An insert sleeve (22) eases the insertion and removal of the tube. The chamber is evacuated by a blower. After loading the items, a plug is inserted and the neck of the balloon closed, while the tube, plug, etc. are removed. ADVANTAGE - Simple loading process, reduced damage risk for balloon.g
