SECO/VACUUM Has Been Awarded a Contract for a Vacuum Furnace From a West Coast Semiconductor Industry Supplier

SECO/VACUUM’s new partner required an extra-large 2-bar vacuum furnace specific to their unique high-temperature process.

Over the years, they had found that their existing fleet of furnaces were difficult to service and replace through the original equipment manufacturer. They explored alternative options and were pleased to find that SECO/VACUUM was able to improve on their existing furnace designs. Not only is the new design more specifically tailored to their needs than their old system, but the custom equipment from SECO/VACUUM could be delivered far sooner than other options.

SECO/WARWICK Group companies are well known as heat treatment equipment manufacturers, but they also have the capabilities and expertise to engineer custom solutions for many other less common thermal processes, particularly those requiring controlled-atmospheres, positive and/or negative pressures and high process purity.

“Not every thermal process calls for a solution that falls neatly into one of our traditional furnace categories. This one is oversized, has a hot-zone equipped for unconventional features, and will serve an application with different process considerations than most of our furnaces,” says Piotr Zawistowski, SECO/VACUUM Managing Director.
