Heat treater ALP Aviation is increasing its production capacity and expanding process capability with a vacuum furnace. The furnace is dedicated to low pressure carburizing of transmission components for helicopters and other aircraft.

The new vacuum furnace is configured with horizontal charge loading, a maximum cooling gas pressure of 15 bar of argon and nitrogen, and a 900mm x 900mm x 1200mm (W x H x L) charge area.

This Vector vacuum furnace is the heat treater's 4^th installation in a 13-year cooperation with SECO/WARWICK, the parent company of North American-based SECO/VACUUM. "Our 13-year relationship with ALP AVIATION continues to be of mutual benefit on all technical and managerial levels," says Sławomir Woźniak, CEO of SECO/WARWICK Group. "[We provide] the technology, equipment and process knowledge which has enabled our client to grow their business. Our Group values working close to the customer."
