Vacuum Multi-Purpose Chamber Furnace Type VZKQ

 

This furnace concept is designed to the in/out principle. The quenching chamber is the inlet chamber at the start of the process and the outlet chamber after quenching. Due to its batch type character this furnace concept allows highest flexibility in operation.

 ModulTherm

 

The basic concept of ModulTherm are various fixed chambers for the heat treat process served by a rail mounted module which contains the transfer chamber and the quenching chamber. This concept complements ALD’s product line starting with the highest flexibility VZKQ batch concept and ending with the highest volume VMKQ continuous concept. ModulTherm makes it easy to offer a solution meeting customers’ specific demands and, furthermore, this system can be expanded to meet increasing production capacity.

ModulTherm’s characteristics are:

  •  A set of independent chambers offers various processes simultaneously and yet eliminate the concern of cross contamination from different processes.
  • Ease of maintenance of individual chambers without interrupting the production.
  • Shortest transfer time from treatment to quench chamber independent of chamber position.
  • Identical transfer time for every load from treatment to quench chamber independent of chamber position.
  • Transport mechanism and drives in ambient air and not in the treatment chambers.
  • Commonality of spare parts.

 

 

Based on continuous process and product development ModulTherm has some additional significant features:

 

  • Reversible gas flow during quenching.
  • Multiple speed motor.

These features provide a further controlled quenching to minimize distortion and gain the full benefits of this technology.
