A Terre Haute, IN, company has completed the commissioning of a vacuum furnace system for a Mid-Atlantic manufacturer. The furnace was upgraded with an oversized vacuum pumping system, updated piping, all metallic hot zone, and control system.
Mercer Vacuum Components and Services Inc took the existing SS vessel and stripped it to the base. All of the vacuum piping was upgraded from .625" copper piping to 2.000" KF style SS piping. The hot zone utilized graphite board with moly elements that MVCS upgraded to a multiple layer metallic lined hot zone utilizing the OEM designed molybdenum elements. New inlet and outlet water headers were also supplied. The control panel was upgraded to include a new PLC and HMI. Instrument upgrade was performed by Mercer Technologies. The entire furnace system was taken apart and painted before reassembling.
