Retech Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Seco Warwick Group, Meadville, Pa., announces that two of its furnace systems have been installed at a new Siemens Power and Gas plant. These include a vacuum induction melting directional solidification/single crystal/equiax pitless (VIM DS/SC/EQ) combo casting furnace; and a vacuum induction melting directional solidification /single crystal (DS/SC) solidification casting furnace system.
Pitless DS/SC furnaces are said to greatly reduce or eliminate costs, time, disruptions to facility production, and confined space entry to pits required with the installation of the new Pitless VIM furnaces at the facility.
“The melting systems that Retech is delivering to Siemens incorporate industry-leading special design features,” says Earl Good, VP – Global Vacuum Melting Managing Director, Retech Systems LLC. “These include vacuum induction melting; a reliable and maintenance friendly design ideal for faster and more flexible operation; superb process control for repeatability and high yields; and Retech’s new pitless mold elevator that can be utilized on directional solidification/single crystal furnaces.”
