Ipsen Ships Custom Global Vertical Heat-Treating System to West Coast

CHERRY VALLEY, IL - Companies continue to rely on Ipsen for high-performance heat treatment equipment that is capable of meeting their exact needs and specifications. Recently, Ipsen shipped a Global Vertical (GV) vacuum furnace with 6-bar gas quenching to a commercial heat treater on the West Coast. The GV heat-treating system is from Ipsen’s TurboTreater® line, which allows customers to order vacuum furnaces specific to their unique needs.

This custom-built furnace features a 60” D x 60” H (1,524 mm x 1,524 mm) graphite work zone, and an 8,000-pound (3,629 kg) load capacity. It operates at temperatures of 1,000 °F to 2,200 °F (538 °C to 1,204 °C) with ± 15 °F (± 8 °C) temperature uniformity. The furnace is also equipped with a 35-inch diffusion pump and Ipsen’s CompuVac® controls system. In addition, this GV furnace is equipped with an argon and nitrogen gas cooling system with gas injection nozzles located 360° around the perimeter of the hot zone, as well as a variable frequency drive on the gas cooling motor for controlled cooling. A spare parts starter kit was also included in this shipment to help users prevent unplanned downtime by supplying them with essential parts and consumables.

Overall, Ipsen’s GV heat-treating system provides users with the best of both worlds: improved uniformity of large production parts during heat-up and cool-down segments and the space-saving benefits of a vertical configuration.
