The order marks 40 years of partnership between the two companies, with the new unit replacing an original Ipsen furnace installed in 1986.<\/p>\n<p>The MetalMaster HR is designed for high-performance heat treating applications including hardening, tempering, brazing, and annealing in a vacuum or partial-pressure environment. The furnace features a horizontal front-loading design with an integrated high-pressure gas quench system.<\/p>\n<p>Urschel Laboratories, based in Chesterton, Indiana, is a global manufacturer of precision food cutting equipment. The company relies on vacuum heat treatment to achieve the hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability required for its cutting components, which operate under demanding production conditions in the food processing industry.<\/p>\n<p>The replacement of the 1986 furnace reflects both the longevity of Ipsen equipment and the ongoing need for modern controls, energy efficiency, and process documentation capabilities in today&#8217;s manufacturing environment. Ipsen reported a 45% year-over-year increase in new equipment units sold in 2025.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ipsenglobal.com\/knowledge-center\/ipsen-usa-announces-new-vacuum-furnace-order-from-urschel-laboratories\/\">Read further here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ipsen USA, Cherry Valley, Illinois, announced a new equipment order from Urschel Laboratories for a MetalMaster HR 54&#215;48 vacuum furnace.
