The Istra A VPF-2-3000 is a vacuum thermoforming wood press — sometimes referred to as a membrane press or vacuum foil press — designed for wrapping, veneering, and laminating wooden components in three dimensions. Machines of this type are widely used in the furniture and joinery industries for processes such as 3D PVC foiling, the production of kitchen cabinet fronts, doors, panels, and shaped or curved laminated parts. Istra A is a manufacturer of woodworking presses, and this model is offered in used condition from a location in Herrnzell, Germany, with a build year of 2025.
The press operates across three modes: automatic, manual, and membrane. In automatic mode, the entire pressing cycle runs according to pre-set parameters under PLC control, making the process fully automated. The membrane mode converts the machine into a conventional membrane press, and a 2 mm thick silicone membrane is included with the machine. This flexibility makes the VPF-2-3000 suitable for a broad range of surface and profile work, including flat and shaped veneering, profile wrapping with veneer, leather, paper, and plastic materials, wood bending, and the manufacture of curved and layer-glued components.
The working table measures 3,000 mm × 1,400 mm, providing a generous surface area for large workpieces or batch processing. The heating system reaches a maximum temperature of 140 °C, draws 24 kW of heating power, and is divided into three independent heating zones with carbon heating elements. The heating unit is raised and lowered pneumatically. The vacuum system uses an oil-lubricated Becker rotary vane pump with a flow rate of 40 m³/h and a motor output of 1.5 kW, operating at a working vacuum of 0.9 bar; the vacuum tank has a capacity of 100 litres. The machine stands 2,200 mm tall and generates a sound level of 70 dB during operation. Process control is handled by a PLC system, and the machine carries CE certification.
