Ipsen, Cherry Valley, Ill., announces that it has made its first shipment of a Titan H8 furnace to a company outside the United States: A Titan H8 vacuum furnace was shipped to a facility in Saudi Arabia. The furnace will be used to process parts for companies in the energy industry. Capable of meeting most global industry standards, the Titan H8 delivers speed, reliability, and process versatility. Other Titan furnaces have been shipped around the world, but this is the first Titan H8.
This horizontal-loading furnace utilizes two-bar gas quenching and features a 48 x 80 x 48-inch graphite work zone with a 6000-pound load capacity. It also operates at temperatures up to 2500°F with ±10°F temperature uniformity, and includes a dual diffusion-pump system for high pumping performance.
Equipped with optional center elements that can be removed, the furnace offers six trim zones and provides greater temperature uniformity throughout the load while heating up. The company also took advantage of several optional features, including a variable-speed cooling motor, a positive-pressure natural convection system, a control-cabinet air conditioner designed for humid, high-temperature environments, and an upgraded VacuProf control system that monitors and records 18 thermocouples.
