You can use a reservoir based system (and the vacuum controller) with any pump. But there is no problem with letting smaller pumps run for the whole time the veneer is being pressed. Most of these pumps are designed to run continuously and the use very little electricty while running. VeneerSupplies.com offers a kit to turn just about any pump into a continuously running vacuum press system with full pressure adjustment. Click here for details.
