The FVS 51-75-75 is a side opening vertical high vacuum heat treatment furnace.  The charge is electrically heated under vacuum in the 10-2m. bar range to uniform temperatures in the range 600°C to 1350°C.  Cooling in the range 1250°C to 100°C is by means of a forced gas cooling system.  Rise or fall and the holding temperature is controlled by a programmable controller with multiple slope/level/time segments.

The furnace has a temperature uniformity +/-5°C between 600°C and 1350°C.  Recirculating gas cooling can cool between 1250°C and 150°C in approximately five minutes using nitrogen gas with an empty chamber.
