Vacuum furnaces are used in many industries including powder metallurgy and ceramics sintering. Vacuum application during heat treatment protects the heated metal and ceramic from the negative influence of air in atmosphere; allowing the physical characteristics of the product to suit the needed specific property and performance requirement, including but not limited to; enhanced density, increased toughness, higher performance in stress and vibration absorption. PVAC series, with a standard touch screen PLC controller, provides complete automatic operation including the cooling gas selection. Designed for small volume applications, PVAC series offer operation with multiple languages and is a price competitive product suitable for a wide range of applications.
