SECO/WARWICK will supply a vacuum furnace for Huake Casting Control (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd.

The SECO/WARWICK Group will supply a horizontal vacuum heat treatment furnace with a graphite heating chamber and a 15 bar absolute gas quenching system to the Chinese manufacturer. The solution will be used to produce components used in the aviation and energy industries.

The SECO/WARWICK Group’s solutions are characterized by innovation and reliability. They are distinguished by modern control systems and precise charge-feeding systems. Vector® is the most versatile single-chamber vacuum furnace operating in over 70 countries, heat treating millions of components meeting the highest standards every day. Vector vacuum furnaces provide a very wide range of processes, and the compact, modular design allows the furnace to be adapted to specific needs. That is why they are one of the most frequently ordered vacuum furnaces for metal heat treatment, not only in Asia, but around the world.

Low emissions and high precision – simply Vector

The Vector furnace family guarantees the high quality of processed parts and surface protection. Thanks to the uniformity of temperature, work results are very repeatable. It is an ideal solution used in production requiring precision results. At the same time, it is a furnace characterized by low energy and process gas consumption. The solution’s low rate of emissions translates into environmental friendliness, which aligns with the company’s philosophy – SECO/ECO.

“Huake ​​Casting Control Technology has become our customer as the result of the SECO/WARWICK Group’s increasing reputation in Asia. On the Chinese market, long-term relationships with customers are an important value. We want to provide partners with solutions which will allow them to grow and achieve their intended goals related to production, quality and profitability,” says Liu Yedong, Managing Director of SECO/WARWICK China.
