Why choose it

Why choose a cart door horizontal vacuum furnace

When your processes call for maximum repeatability and the ability to handle substantial loads, the cart door vacuum furnace delivers the most effective answer. A versatile system for the main heat treatments — hardening and tempering, ageing, stress relieving, solution treatment, annealing — as well as brazing and diffusion bonding.

Distinctive features

Engineered for heavy and bulky loads

Bulky loads handled safely
