VAC AERO Commissions First of Two Vacuum Furnaces at a New Hampshire-based Castings Manufacturer

press rel mar14Burlington, March 14, 2014 – The VAH5050 HV-2 horizontal vacuum furnace with work zone dimensions 36” wide x 36” high x 50” deep is the first VAC AERO furnace to be installed at this facility and will replace an old existing furnace. The hot zone is comprised of curved graphite elements and the heavy duty hearth is constructed with quickly removable rails of pure molybdenum designed to support a uniformly distributed load of 3000 lbs at 2400°F. The lightweight design’s low thermal mass enables faster quenching and longer life. The furnace is equipped with an external recirculating inert gas quenching system and includes gas storage and dual loop cooling systems. The furnace operating system is based on VAC AERO’s versatile HC900 interactive hybrid control package with SCADA and complete network integration capabilities and remote monitoring and control.
