A Polish plant belonging to a global manufacturer of aircraft parts has chosen Seco/Warwick, ordering a single-chamber Vector® vacuum furnace to replace a 30-year-old unit previously operating in the plant.
The previous furnace, also of the Seco/Warwick brand, will retire and be replaced by a new, economical, and versatile furnace for brazing jet engine parts.
Seco/Warwick has been a recognized metal heat–treatment equipment manufacturer for decades. The fact that quality has always been a key differentiator for Seco/Warwick is proven by the fact that in many plants, units were manufactured in the 1980s and 1990s. The partners are gradually replacing these units with modern solutions, continuing to be loyal to the Seco/Warwick brand.
“The aviation industry is a very important partner that has been cooperating with Seco/Warwick for decades,” said Maciej Korecki, vice-president of the Vacuum Furnaces Segment, Seco/Warwick Group.“This is the proof of satisfaction with the products we create, but also an expression of trust. Long-term, strategic, good relationships are key. Our furnaces are designed to operate without failure for many, many years, as evidenced by the replacement of this furnace after so many years,”
The solution on order is based on a standard Vector vacuum furnace with a working space of 900 x 900 x1,200 mm, with screen insulation and metal heating elements. It has been adapted to industry specific needs. The solution can heat treat jet engine components, such as complex gears or main shafts.
“This unit is distinguished by the ability to carry out efficient and clean high vacuum processes thanks to the use of a molybdenum heating chamber and a very efficient pumping system,” said JędrzejMalinowski, sales manager, Seco/Warwick Group. “This ensures very high purity and the dynamics required for brazing processes. Another big advantage is the very good temperature uniformity in the molybdenum heating chamber and compliance with the strict requirements of industry standards such as AMS-2750.”
