Abstract: The present invention proposes a vacuum/high pressure filling apparatus which can improve the filling rate and shorten the impregnating time period in immersing a porous workpiece into a filling liquid. The vacuum/high pressure filling apparatus includes: an openable and closable hermetic partition chamber unit constituted by two upper and lower split partition wall unit portions, a partition chamber unit opening and closing mechanism to open and close the partition chamber unit, a vacuum suction opening and a pressurizing opening provided for the partition chamber unit, a liquid vessel arranged in the partition chamber unit to receive a filling liquid, a holder arranged, in the partition chamber unit, for the porous workpiece, an elevator unit to move the filling liquid in the liquid vessel and the porous workpiece relative to each other inside the partition chamber unit so as to immerse the porous workpiece into the filling liquid in the liquid vessel and pull up the workpiece from the filling liquid.

Abstract: A heating-type vacuum press device which has a small vacuum isolation chamber in which pressing is performed under vacuum without damage to seal packing, while heating. A lower fixed frame and an upper movement frame constitute a wall portion of the isolation chamber. A gas-tight sliding mechanism ensures gas-tightness between the lower fixed frame and the upper movement frame. Thereby, the isolation chamber is formed in a space defined by the lower fixed frame, the upper movement frame, a base and a fitting plate. The lower fixed frame surrounds a receiving table equipped with a heater for a workpiece, and is arranged on the base such that the lower fixed frame is spaced from the receiving table. The upper movement frame is hanged from the fitting plate such that the upper movement frame is spaced from a pressing plate equipped with a heater, and surrounds the pressing plate.
