Eva­cuable ni­tri­ding tem­pe­ring fur­naces VAN

Versatile all-rounders up to 750 °C

VAN type nitriding furnaces, also referred to as VAN type protective gas retort furnaces, can be adapted to the requirements of the respective treatment type with an array of options. VAN furnaces are especially suitable for nitration. Here, the entire process in the furnace runs through automatically and without staff intervention. This allows atmosphere changes to be performed quickly and easily. Of course, the atmosphere controls correspond to the high requirements of DIN, CQI and AMS.

All temperature ranges of thermochemical nitriding with ammonia are covered, from low-temperature nitriding to high-temperature nitro-carburising up to 750 °C. Gas mixing stations are produced with all required additional media. In addition to carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ethyne, endogas and exogas or methanol are used as carbon carriers.

APIN ® and lo-flo ® special procedures

All nitriding systems can be controlled by computers and monitored by sensors. To this end, the specially designed measuring rod for a fully regulated nitriding furnace contains not just a hydrogen sensor but also an oxygen sensor to ensure that the atmosphere can be fully monitored at any time. Automatic testing systems of the sensors and flow monitors check and document the working order before and during every process. Our APIN® and lo-flo® special procedures guarantee the highest atmospheric precision with the minimum consumption of unburnt gas.

VAN furnace systems can be connected to WMV vacuum washing machines, KA pre-warming tempering furnaces and CWT telescopic batch trolleys to create fully automated lines.
