The Monty, July 2003 Issue

I believe the press release below says it all. I will add though that I believe this facility with the addition of this unit will have a total of 5 Vac Aero furnaces. "Vac Aero International Inc., located in Oakville, Ontario have been awarded a contract for a large vacuum furnace from Magellan Aerospace for their facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The furnace is a large bottom loading design with an all metal work zone of 84" diameter X 84" high. It has

Honeywell UMC 900 series controls, Stokes and Varian vacuum pumps, two IG Gas storage tanks for Nitrogen and Argon, a WGPM 200 JX closed loop water recirculating system and a Vac Aero designed rotisserie system for special brazing procedures. Magellan have been awarded contracts pertaining to Airbus A340 and A380 programs and the furnace will be used in the processing of components in these programs. The whole system will be installed by Vac Aero personnel as part of the contract."
