A manufacturer has chosen a heat treat vertical vacuum furnace designed to perform low-pressure carburizing for the large structural elements (gearboxes) used in wind power plants.  

SECO/WARWICK Group, a manufacturer with North American locations, provided the furnace that combines two technologies: atmospheric and vacuum processing. This system provides: process purity, heating uniformity, and elimination of the oxidation effect at the grain boundary. The product solves the problem of high energy and process gas consumption by the partner’s old furnaces, and shortens the carburizing process.

"The Pit-LPC technology . . . increases the safety for users, because it does not involve explosive and flammable gases. LPC eliminates direct CO₂ emissions from the carburizing atmosphere,'" commented Maciej Korecki, vice president of the Vacuum Products Segment at SECO/WARWICK Group.

This is the second vacuum furnace that the Mint of Poland purchased from the parent company of North American-based SECO/VACUUM. The vacuum furnace target is equipped with 15 bar high pressure gas quenching (HPGQ) capability and is intended to increase the efficiency of the Mint of Poland. The unique design also opens up new possibilities for thin layer nitriding tests. This is an innovative application in the technological testing phase. Additionally, it will serve as a back-up resource in the event of failure or downtime due to service inspection of the current unit.

“Considering the nature of the mint’s operation, including the security of the coin and tool production process,” says Piotr Kraszewski, director of the production department at Mennica Polska SA, “an important aspect is duplicating the device in order to maintain the continuity of heat treatment in any situation and to ensure that the entire technological line is carried out on the premises of the mint.”

Siemowit Kalukiewicz, production and operations director at Mennica Polska SA, added, “In our long-term cooperation with SECO/WARWICK… we value the most their technological and service support, which allows us to try innovative solutions, rare or unheard of on the market. In our opinion, the technological knowledge and individual approach of engineers to the challenges that we set before them are as valuable and unique as our products.”
