Solar Manufacturing is a valued partner to the heat treating industry. Our newest innovation is the NEO™, a batch-type vacuum oil quench furnace with a graphite insulated hot zone that is designed for workloads up to 2,000 pounds. What sets the NEO™ apart from traditional oil quench furnaces is the neutral, oxygen-free vacuum atmosphere which eliminates detrimental carburization, decarburization, and intergranular oxidation. The NEO™ accomplishes these outstanding metallurgical results without all the safety concerns and environmental hazards of a traditional atmosphere oil quench furnace. Our ingenuity is CLEAN, GREEN & SAFE!

For unmatched expertise in choosing the right vacuum furnace, replacement hot zone, spare parts, and service, contact Pete Reh to learn how our ingenuity works for you.

With the increased interest and investment in sustainable electrical energy, Induction Tooling, Inc. is committed to making the consumption and use of this energy efficient. Electrical induction heating when used in the selective hardening process is a proven efficient method that often exceeds 90%. If a suitable steel part is to be case hardened within a production cell, the considered application of choice is induction. The selective hardening process focuses induction energy only where needed. Many automotive steel parts are currently hardened by induction. The use of efficient power is a significant advantage of induction selective hardening.

L&L Special Furnace has been supplying electrically heated process furnaces for years; these furnaces produce no harmful greenhouse gases or environmentally hazardous byproducts from the heating medium, a claim few other fuel sources can make.

Heater control is by means of environmentally safe solid-state devices, and we’re constantly improving our products’ environmental impact. When unwanted byproducts are produced from parts, L&L can include afterburners and burner extensions for the cleanup of any hazardous effluents from the byproducts of processed materials and traps for non-combustible byproducts for capture/disposal by third party services.

AFC-Holcroft looks for ideas to lessen the heat treatment carbon footprint and offers forward-thinking ways to help safeguard the environment. Thermal processing is critical to producing the materials of modern life, yet the processing is unavoidably energy intensive. But that doesn’t mean that heat treatment systems are impervious to ways to reduce their environmental impact. In fact, there are already many climate-aware improvements to traditional heat treatment systems that can be implemented today. Some of our green initiatives target energy savings, operating efficiencies, reduced emissions, environmental safeguards, reduced carbon footprint, and general climate protection.

Vacuum Furnaces with Low Pressure Carburizing Technology — ECM USA’s solution to meet your green initiatives. Vacuum furnaces use cold wall technology enabling higher temperature treatments and ergonomic integration into machining centers. It allows for a higher throughput, but also prevents intergranular oxidation during carburizing thanks to the absence of oxygen. Vacuum also improves employee safety by removing the risk of fire hazards and open flames generated during the process.
