\n\tSolar Manufacturing, Souderton, Pa., announces that it has contracted with Refrac Systems, Chandler, Ariz., to help design and build a large 100-ton-load gas fan quench vacuum hot press (GFQVHP) system for its aerospace structures diffusion bonding operation. Refrac  engineers, working with Solar’s engineering team, selected a derivative of the Solar Manufacturing standard HLF-5748-2IQ internally quenched two-bar vacuum furnace as the base design. The new system contains many new engineered designs that are needed to build a versatile and robust system that can process aerospace structures by both automated vacuum hot pressing and by superplastic forming\/diffusion bonding.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tAmity Industries, Douglassville, Pa., built the furnace chamber for the unit. Beckwood Press & Machinery\/Triform, Saint Louis, Mo., was selected to build the large 100-ton “Four Post” hydraulic press frame. Optima Stantron, Lawrenceville, Ga., built the control console unit.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to Norm Hubele, President of Refrac Systems, “Solar Manufacturing and Beckwood Press & Machinery are both industry leaders with robust engineering experience.  We have worked closely together to design and build this one-of-a-kind GFQVHP.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t“Norm put together a team of engineers to design and build this furnace back in 2013,” says William Jones, CEO of the Solar Atmospheres family of companies. “This state-of-the-art GFQVHP contains many innovations that will be discussed at a later time.  Throughout the entire process, Norm has personally reviewed all aspects of the design and added considerable insight to the development of this unique vacuum furnace system.”<\/p>\n

\n\tSolar Manufacturing expects to ship the GFQVHP unit in July, and final assembly, testing, and startup are projected for the 4th quarter 2016 in Chandler.<\/p>\n
