Solar Manufacturing, Sellersville, Pa., recently shipped a Mentor vacuum furnace to Virginia, for a customer servicing the tool and die industry. The Model HFL-2018-2IQ features a graphite-insulated hot zone, a load weight capacity up to 250 pounds, and a maximum operating temperature of 2400°F. The HFL-2018-2IQ furnace will be used for solution annealing, ageing, and brazing. Measuring 12 x 12 x 18 inches, the Mentor includes the SolarVac Essentials control system.
“This company is a long-time customer of our sister company, Solar Atmospheres,” says Dan Insogna, Southeast Regional Sales Manager for Solar Manufacturing. “They wanted to own a Solar furnace themselves, for smaller, in-house jobs. Cal Amenheuser, Vice President of Operations with Solar Atmospheres, played a big role in connecting Solar Manufacturing with the customer. The existing relationship with Cal, and Solar Manufacturing’s reputation in the industry earned us this order.”
