The ECO Furnace is a double chamber installation including a furnace and an integrated oil quenching cell. It is a compact installation that aims at replacing gas-heated atmospheric furnaces for carburizing operations. Thanks to vacuum, the ECO Furnace is very efficient. Heat treatment takes place at a higher temperature in comparison to conventional solutions, which increases productivity. Also, the carbon footprint of this equipment is optimized. Indeed, electric heating combined with vacuum allows to get rid of endo gas generators, and only consume the gas needed to carburize. As a result, energy consumption is limited and CO2 emissions are among the lowest with a cut of about 80% compared to mainstream alternatives. Thus, thanks to electric heating and vacuum, their integration in workshops are made super easy. Indeed, no flames are generated and the risk of fire hazards is eliminated. Moreover, ECO Furnaces can be integrated in existing batch lines, using existing conveyors.
