Ipsen, Cherry Valley, Ill., recently installed a Titan V6 thermal processing vacuum system at a company’s facility in South Korea, where it will be used to process production tools for the petrochemical industry. Easily fitting into a single 40-foot shipping container, this standard vacuum furnace was able to traverse the globe with ease, thus helping maintain cost-effective delivery.
This vertical, bottom-loading furnace utilizes two-bar gas quenching and features a 60 x 60-in. graphite hot zone with a 3000-pound load capacity. It is also equipped with a 35-in. diffusion pump and Ipsen’s VacuProf control system. The company took a proactive approach to maintenance, ordering one of Ipsen’s many spare parts kits, which consist of consumable and preventive maintenance items to help ensure equipment uptime and keep the furnace running smoothly.
