Watlow Electric Manufacturing Company
Watlow Electric Manufacturing Company, a North American manufacturer of industrial heaters, sensors, and controllers, will receive a high-vacuum furnace and auxiliaries for annealing thermocouple wires between every drawing stage.
SECO/VACUUM will design and deliver the Vector® HPGQ 6-bar furnace with a customized 40"x40"x48" working zone and a 1.5 ton load capacity. The furnace package includes a 20,000 l/s diffusion pump for high-vacuum operation and a closed loop water system, loading cart, and nitrogen reservoir.
"We wanted a furnace that aligned perfectly with the exceptional capabilities and operation at our Illinois facility to ensure uniform product quality among plants," Karla Sarabia, manager of Watlow Electric Manufacturing Company's Mexico project said. "It’s also a big advantage that SECO/VACUUM has local maintenance support to serve our needs in Mexico."
