A heavy duty box section framework has a sheet of toughened glass attached. The vacuum pump is located on top for space saving and connected by large bore piping to the glass frame that is drilled on the inside faces to allow the air to be exhausted quickly. The vacuum pump achieves a strong vacuum in approximately 30 seconds.

Two overhead carriages support the rubber frame, which can be easily closed at the either end. Six toggle clamps bring the rubber frame seal into contact with the glass frame. The vacuum contact exposure frame represents a fundamentally correct concept for the exposure of large and medium sized screens.

The glass of the machine is permanently vertical and securely held in a strong steel frame. Screen frames are placed against the glass while resting on the bottom support lip of the vertical frame.

The flexible rubber blanket has an inner (replaceable) fabric blanket for durability and easy air evacuation. The blanket carrier frame moves horizontally on sealed barings and locks with a simple lever clamp at each end. This blanket carrier can be moved by a single person. Access into the frame can be done from either side of the equipment.

The rear support frame, glass carrier and the angled front legs are bolted to the floor. The rear support can be bolted to a wall using optional brackets, thus allowing removal of the angled legs for greater space saving.

In conclusion, AMK-BSF Series silk screen frames have a proven design and offer major benefits over conventional horizontal glass frames, such as less floor space requirement.
