Vacuum Heat Treating Furnace

This system has an 8"x8"x20" hot zone that reaches temperatures of 3000 deg. F. It is also equipped with a rapid quench in inert gas system allowing it to cool parts at 30 deg. F per second. The base pressure is 1x10-7 Torr in thirty minutes utilizing a Varian 16" diffusion pump. multiple safety interlocks assist in preventing operator injury and process / component contamination. Fabrication of similar systems with larger or smaller hot zones is available to meet various requirements.

Hot Wall Oven

This hot wall oven was produced to dry medical devices acceptable moisture levels. It was fitted with a PLC controller and operator interface. The backfill gas was heated to assist in the drying process. The oven measures 16" diameter x 18" deep and operated in the 250 degree F range.

Infrared Vacuum Oven

This infrared oven operates at 800 degrees C while maintaining a vacuum level of 3x10-6 Torr. The elements are quartz tubes and are mounted in reflectors to promote uniformity in the hot zone. It's main mode of operation is an auto cycle but has a manual and maintenance modes as well. All safety interlocks are present during both auto and manual modes while the maintenance mode bypasses them all. The unit is pumped with an Alcatel 30 cfm mechanical pump and a 1000 liters per minute Varian turbo pump. The walls are water cooled to maintain acceptable exterior temperatures for operator safety.

Bake Out Oven

This bake out oven was designed to run various recipes to allow our customer the flexibility to dry multiple types of optical substrates. It operates in the 350 degree C range and pumps down to 3x10-7 Torr during operation while maintaining a cold wall exterior via the full water jacket. This unit utilizes a 30 cfm Alcatel mechanical pump and a CTI CT8 Cryo-Pump with a water cooled compressor. All safety interlocks are present during both the auto cycle and the manual mode to help prevent operator injury and protect the process.

Bake Out Oven

Bake out oven was designed to operate at 550 degrees C. It is evacuated with an Alcatel 30 cfm mechanical pump only. It's primary purpose is to dry components to an acceptable moisture level. It has both an auto cycle and a manual mode. All inter locked safeties operate in both modes.

Vacuum Drying Oven

This vacuum drying oven was designed to operate at 650 degrees C. It is mechanicaly pumped with an Alcatel 30 cfm rotary vane pump and high vacuum is achieved utilizing a CTI CT-8 Cryo-Pump. The base pressure is 5.0 x 10-8 in 45 minutes. It's primary purpose is to dry components to an acceptable moisture level prior to clean room packaging. It has both an auto cycle and a manual mode controlled with an industrial computer. All inter locked safeties operate in both modes.
