Vertical Vacuum Furnaces
Space-efficient vertical designs optimized for specialized applications. Ideal for facilities with limited floor space while maintaining high performance standards and efficient heat distribution.
Engineered for Peak Performance
Our VAV Series vertical vacuum furnaces represent decades of engineering excellence, combining space-efficient design with uncompromising performance standards.
Space-Optimized Engineering
Vertical furnaces are specifically engineered for facilities where floor space is at a premium. Our innovative design reduces the footprint by up to 50% compared to horizontal systems while maintaining the same processing capabilities and temperature uniformity.
The top-loading configuration not only saves space but also provides superior accessibility for maintenance operations, reducing downtime and operational costs.
Advanced Temperature Control
Operating at temperatures up to 2200°F (1204°C), our vertical furnaces deliver precise thermal processing with exceptional uniformity. The cylindrical chamber design promotes natural convection patterns that enhance heat distribution throughout the work zone.
Integrated PLC-based control systems ensure repeatable processes with comprehensive data logging and recipe management capabilities.
Gravity-Assisted Loading
The vertical orientation takes advantage of gravity for efficient loading and unloading operations. This design is particularly beneficial for powder metallurgy applications, sintering operations, and processing of small to medium-sized components.
Easy top access eliminates the need for complex loading mechanisms while ensuring safe and efficient material handling.
