Consarc vacuum furnace arrives

To further enhance our extensive vacuum heat treatment capabilities we have recently purchased a FVS 51-75-75 Consarc ‘multiflow’ vacuum furnace.

The FVS 51-75-75 is a side opening vertical high vacuum heat treatment furnace. The charge is electrically heated under vacuum in the 10-2m. bar range to uniform temperatures in the range 600°C to 1350°C. Cooling in the range 1250°C to 100°C is by means of a forced gas cooling system. Rise or fall and the holding temperature is controlled by a programmable controller with multiple slope/level/time segments.

The furnace has a temperature uniformity +/-5°C between 600°C – 1350°C. Recirculating gas cooling can cool between 1250°c – 150°C in approx 5 minutes using nitrogen gas with an empty chamber.

The furnace can process a charge weight of 500kg max and has internal dimension of 750mm diameter x 750mm high max.
