ABSTRACT:
Impregnating equipment includes a centrifuge, a tank which can be exhausted and into which an impregnating compound can be introduced, and means for attaching at an upper part of the tank a mounting for a centrifugal basket, said mounting comprising a single self-aligning or swing bearing which is supported by a support which can be locked by means of an expanding device to the upper rim of the tank. The expanding device preferably consists of three radial arms which can be retracted and extended and the ends of which are in the form of jaws, the rim of the tank consisting of a ring the radially inwardly-directed cross-section of which has a shape mating with the shape of the jaws. A method of vacuum impregnation of articles utilizing such impregnating equipment comprises introducing the articles into the centrifugal basket, coupling the centrifugal basket with the basket drive mounting support, introducing the basket drive mounting support and the basket into the tank, releasing the coupling, removing the basket drive mounting support, closing and exhausting the tank, impregnating the articles, introducing air into and opening the tank, lowering the basket drive mounting support and coupling same to the centrifugal basket, lifting the basket drive mounting support and locking same to the tank, spinning the centrifugal basket by means of the basket drive mounting support to centrifuge off and return excess impregnating compound into the tank, releasing the locking means and lifting the basket drive mounting support and the centrifugal basket, and uncoupling and removing the centrifugal basket from the basket drive mounting support.
