Midwest Thermal-Vac expands capacity with Ipsen furnace

Commercial heat treater and repeat Ipsen customer, Midwest Thermal-Vac (MTV), has recently purchased a Titan vacuum furnace with 12-bar gas quenching. This furnace features a diffusion pump for high-vacuum levels and an all-metal hot zone to ensure part cleanliness – an important feature for processing parts that need to comply with Nadcap and medical industry requirements such as MedAccred. The Titan is MTV's second Ipsen furnace; the first is a horizontal furnace used primarily for processing tool and die work.

The Titan furnace features an all-metal hot zone measuring 18" x 24" x 18" (455 mm x 610 mm x 455 mm), with a 1,000-pound (450 kg) load capacity. It is capable of operating at temperatures ranging from 900 to 2,400 °F (482 to 1,316 °C) with ± 10 °F (±6 °C) temperature uniformity.
This shipment also includes PdMetrics software platform for predictive maintenance and Ipsen’s startup service performed by local Field Service Engineers.
Ipsen’s Titan vacuum furnace is a platform product that sets the industry standard for quality equipment at a cost-conscious value. These heat-treating systems are available in several sizes with horizontal or vertical configurations, nitrogen or argon quench and graphite or all-metal hot zone construction. They are easy to operate and handle a variety of common heat-treating processes.

The European steel industry – mills as well as distributors and steel users – faces a market that is no less than bizarre. For years already, cheap imports from Asia were one problem. On top of that came the duties on steel imported to the USA. Europe had to act, and it did, through safeguard measures and CBAM fees.
