Solar Manufacturing Inc., Sellersville, Pa., announces that the MuShield Co. of Londonderry, New Hampshire, has commissioned Solar Manufacturing to design its first-ever vacuum furnace. MuShield aims to better serve the magnetic shielding industry by providing material designed to protect sensitive electronics from magnetic fields. It is expanding with additional space to house the new Solar furnace.
The furnace, built with a SolarVac Polaris control system and fully compliant to AMS2750E pyrometric specification, is designed to accommodate loads up to 36 x 36 x 72 inches, and a maximum weight of 5000 pounds. It operates at a vacuum level of 10-5 Torr and maximum temperatures up to 2400°F, and features an external quench system designed for pressures up to two bar.
“MuShield was already aware of our excellent reputation in the industry, and its engineers were impressed with our facility when they visited earlier this year,” comments Jason Davidson, Solar Manufacturing’s Northeast Regional Sales Manager. “They were also impressed with results of testing carried out for them by Solar Atmospheres, so we’re pleased they have placed confidence in Solar Manufacturing to provide their first vacuum furnace.”
