VACUUM MELTING FURNACE SYSTEMS Vacuum melting technologies and equipment Vacuum metallurgical equipment is manufactured in our facilities in the United States, Poland and China, which are the regions with the highest demand for high-melting and foundry technologies. Since 2006, as a result of strategic acquisition of Retech, we offer our customers worldwide a comprehensive solution in the field of melting furnaces and heat treatment furnaces. Our customers have become the beneficiaries of synergies resulting from the merger of companies. A Retech PAM Cold Hearth furnace uses an electrically excited gas, typically Helium or Argon, to melt reactive and refractory metals in a sealed chamber, under inert atmosphere. The Cold Hearth is a water-cooled, copper vessel is devoid of contaminating elements like Oxygen and yields clean, as-cast metal by removing high and low density inclusions during the cold hearth refining process. Plasma furnaces can be designed for a wide range of sizes, from a few pounds to many tons, as well as production of everything from ingots and powder to castings. Our plasma arc melting furnaces can be configured with one or multiple torches, any number of feed systems as well as casting and withdrawal chambers to meet the needs of our customers. We actively work with those customers to develop the necessary equipment and process solutions, including upstream and downstream components, as well as alloy and application development.
