Ipsen High Performance Vacuum Furnaces Accelerating the world’s heat treat operations. What separates competitors today is speed. The speed to bring products to market faster…thespeed to process more parts in less time. For manyof the world’s industrial leaders, Ipsen’s TurboTreaters ® have become virtually synonymous with heat treatingspeed and efficiency. Today, in hundreds ofinstallations, TurboTreaters ® are achieving productivity,uniformity, and cost objectives that would simply beunobtainable with other competitive technology. Unparalleled speed and efficiency: Apatented high-velocity internal gas quench systemimproves hardening qualities and cuts cycle timeby 20% vs. competitive systems. In addition, ahigh-volume turbo fan with unique 360°nozzles andhigh capacity heat exchanger generates the highestheat transfer coefficient of any furnace in its class. Significant energy savings: The TurboTreater ® gas quench system uses up to 40%less backfill gas, making every TurboTreater ® vastlymore energy efficient. Extremely compact: The TurboTreater’s entire gas quenching system islocated within the vessel, greatly reducing floorspacerequirements. Ease of maintenance: TurboTreaters ® are virtuallya“snap” to service and maintain, with features suchas shaped graphite heating elements, 1/4-turnelement supports and a one-piece removable hotzone module. Highly reliable: 2” insulation pack, molybdenumshielding or graphite with CFC over high-erosionareas, and a precision balanced motor and fan forlonger life all combine to improve day-to-daydependability.Even better,TurboTreater ® technologynow is available for the widest rangeof application and capacityrequirements… High Performance Fast & Uniform The TurboTreater ® Line of vacuum furnace equipment issuperior in design and performance, offering fast anduniform results. Its advanced convection heating designwith patented Ipsen flapper nozzles provides excellenttemperature uniformity, while its compact High PressureGas Quenching (HPGQ) system achieves optimalcooling performance levels that improve hardeningqualities and reduce cycle times.Proven and reliable, the flapper nozzle system requiresno complex linkage or actuation mechanism. It opensonly in the cooling mode, thus reducing heat loss fromthe hot zone while improving temperature uniformityduring heating. High Performance In the fast quench cycle of a TurboTreater ® furnace,ahigh efficient turbine blower forces inert gas throughdozens of Turbo nozzles. Careful geometric positioningofeach nozzle around the furnace hot zone, includingits back wall, assures uniform quench gas flowthroughout the entire workload, regardless of load sizeor workpart configuration. Quenching gas must flowthrough the workload in order to exit the hot zone.
