Dry Coolers Inc.
PAC Series Process Chillers
Omni-Chill™ PAC series are complete with pump, tank and controls. Designed for induction processes, these nonferrous units feature high reliability in industrial environments. Oversized condenser and air filters, easy access for maintenance, small footprint and easy installation make our PAC chillers the right choice.
G-M Enterprises
Vacuum Furnaces
G-M presents our unique vacuum-furnace technologies designed for low maintenance and high performance. Patented 2-point element support, high-velocity venturi gas-cooling nozzles, true convection heating and cooling with gas exchange in/out of the hot zone, power feed-throughs and 20-bar furnace with advanced computerized control systems.
Ipsen
PdMetrics® Software Platform for Predictive Maintenance
Imagine a tool that allows you to anticipate disruption. A tool that gives you the power to optimize equipment performance and production efficiency. Ipsen’s PdMetrics® software platform – an innovative, data-based system that offers comprehensive predictive maintenance solutions for your heat treatment equipment – is that tool. PdMetrics is currently available as a retrofit or with the purchase of a new furnace and also comes standard on TITAN heat-treating systems.
L&L Special Furnace Co. Inc.
L&L Model XLE furnaces are highly uniform and controllable electric box furnaces widely adaptable to many applications, including hardening, neutral hardening, solution heat treating, stress relieving, annealing, aging, precipitation hardening and tempering. Brazing, calcining, drying, melting and sintering are some of the other applications XLE furnaces are used for. Although “standard” configurations are made, each furnace is normally fitted with standard and special options to suit specific needs. These include vertical doors, fans, special hearths, racks, baskets, quenching systems, program controls and recorders.
Wisconsin Oven
Standard Draw Batch Oven
The draw batch oven features heavy-duty construction, which includes a plate-steel outer shell, a reinforced steel plate oven front, a lined inner shell and exterior structural reinforcements as required. There are 40 standard draw batch oven models offered in 10 standard sizes and four temperature ranges. Standard maximum continuous temperature ratings are 800°F, 1000°F, 1250°F and 1400°F. Applications include tempering, solution treating, aging, annealing, normalizing and stress relieving.
Kanthal®
Key offerings within Kanthal’s extensive portfolio of products and services include gas flow heater technology. Equipped with an extremely compact design and very wide flow range, the flow heater is capable of higher gas outlet temperatures of up to 1200°C (2190°F). This is a significant improvement over most conventional flow heater designs that are limited to just 800°C (1470°F) gas temperature. Advantages for end users include easier installation, cleaner work environments and fewer safety risks compared with conventional gas burners.
Protection Controls Inc.
Combustion Safeguards
Protection Controls Inc. offers a comprehensive Service Manual covering all Protectofier combustion safeguard units. It provides important and valuable information on installation, service, guides, testing and troubleshooting as well as specifications, features and application on Protection Controls’ single and multi-burner units.
SECO/WARWICK
VECTOR® Vacuum
With over 700 units installed worldwide, North America’s most diverse all-purpose vacuum furnace is worth considering. Capable of quenching up to 25 bar, this furnace gives you all the horsepower you need to perform a broad array of thermal processes: low-pressure carburizing, hardening, brazing, annealing, solution aging, tempering and others. Choose between graphite or all-metal hot zones as well as a convection heating option.
Solar Manufacturing
Solar Manufacturing introduces an innovative, more thermally efficient hot-zone design utilizing a new graphite insulation board called HEFVAC™. The high density and superior strength of HEFVAC foil-faced board improves thermal efficiency (conductive losses), requires less hardware and reduces moisture absorption. Our unique beveled Z-edge forms tight joints between insulation boards to stop radiation losses.
Surface Combustion
RX® Endothermic Gas Atmosphere Generators
Surface Combustion modular-style RX gas generators provide efficient, low cost and reliable production of an endothermic gas atmosphere. RX gas generators produce a highly reducing product gas for controlled furnace atmospheres used in metallurgical heat treatments and are suitable for carburizing, carbonitriding, carbon restoration, clean hardening and annealing of steel.
