SECO/WARWICK one of the Group’s flagship products - Vector® vacuum furnace

The Swiss, renowned commercial heat treater ordered from SECO/WARWICK one of the Group’s flagship products - Vector® vacuum furnace.

A furnace with a large working chamber, efficient pumping system, isothermal quenching and directional cooling will increase the production capacity of the commercial heat treater, which is mainly known for its services in the field of nickel and silver brazing.

The ordered Vector vacuum furnace solves the customer’s problem with hardening larger-size elements (the furnace working zone is 900x900x1200) and will significantly increase the efficiency of the current hardening plant. It will improve and increase the processing capacity of the hardening processes. Thanks to high energy savings, the efficiency of the graphite chamber as well as the purity and speed of the processes, the furnace will also have an impact on increasing the production economics.

 

“Our furnace also extends the customer’s services range. Thanks to the cooling capacity of 15 bar, it is possible to process parts that require high-speed cooling. Thanks to high vacuum, Vector also allows performing more difficult brazing processes, e.g. with nickel or silver. This is our second cooperation with this partner. Previously, we delivered a solution from the SECO/WARWICK furnaces family of a similar size, in a non-pressurized version,”

 

- says Maciej Korecki, Vice president of Vacuum Segment, in SECO/WARWICK Group.

/ Vector® is synonymous with versatility and performance

Vector is the most common choice of commercial heat treaters not only in Europe. Versatility, efficiency and excellent process economy mean that professional commercial heat treaters most often order this type of vacuum furnaces.

Vector comes in several sizes and configurations. In the version ordered by the Swiss, a large working zone with the possibility of adjusting an oversized load utilizes the advantages of a round heating chamber. Thanks to the use of a system consisting of two mechanical pumps and a diffusion pump the furnace enables very efficient processes at a very good vacuum in medium and high ranges. The efficiency of the processes carried out is also influenced by the possibility of cooling at 15 bar.

 

Thanks to the inverter control, we can switch on the optimal cooling power in the appropriate process segment. The great advantages are also low heat losses and good temperature distribution in the heating chamber. The Vector vacuum furnace has numerous options, such as convection, directional cooling or isothermal quenching, increasing the versatility of the solution and the processes carried out.

 

/ Commercial heat treaters need the best equipment

In no other industry are metal heat treatment furnaces used so intensively. Commercial heat treaters are distinguished by a huge range of services offered, which is why the equipment they buy must be reliable, efficient and as versatile as possible.

 

Commercial heat treaters face the problem of many types of materials, a wide range of processes and various technologies every day. This is one of the most experienced groups of recipients when it comes to vacuum heat treatment. SECO/WARWICK will deliver to Switzerland a solution that, thanks to its unique capabilities, will cope in this demanding environment. In addition, it provides both a large variety in terms of treated elements and technologies in which it operates. Vector and the equipment ordered are as versatile as commercial heat treaters in the metal treatment market.
