Solar Atmospheres of California Facility Expansion Complete
April 1, 2018
Solar Atmospheres of California (SCA) has completed its 25,000 sq. ft. facility expansion, doubling its heat-treating capacity on the West Coast.
In preparation for the added growth, SCA procured an additional four vacuum furnaces from sister company Solar Manufacturing (SMI) based in Souderton, PA.
Additional state-of-the-art vacuum heat treating equipment includes:
- SMI high pressure vacuum gas carburizing furnace with Rigid Graphite Hot Zone design measuring 36" W X 36" H X 48" D; 35" varian diffusion pump for sustained high vacuum processing; low pressure vacuum carburizing capability; operating range of 600 °F - 2,200 °F (maximum temperature 2,750 °F); maximum cooling pressure of 10 Bar (135 psig) with 300 HP gas blower; and maximum loading capacity of 7,000 lbs.
- SMI high pressure vacuum gas carburizing furnace with Rigid Graphite Hot Zone design measuring 48" W X 48" H X 72" D; 35" varian diffusion pump for sustained high vacuum processing; low pressure vacuum carburizing capability; operating range of 600 °F - 2,200 °F (maximum temperature 2,750 °F); maximum cooling pressure of 10 Bar (135 psig) with 300 HP gas blower; and maximum loading capacity of 15,000 lbs.
- SMI all metal hot zone with isolated gas quench system with All Moly Hot Zone design measuring 48" W X 48" H X 72" D; 35" varian diffusion pump with isolated external gas quench system for optimized sustained high vacuum processing of sensitive materials; operating range of 600 °F - 2,400 °F (maximum temperature 2,800 °F); and maximum loading capacity of 15,000 lbs.
- SMI horizontal car-bottom furnace with Rigid Graphite Hot Zone design measuring 96" W X 96" H X 288" D; multiple 35" varian diffusion pumps for sustained high vacuum processing; operating range of 600 °F - 2,200 °F (maximum temperature 2,600 °F); and maximum loading capacity of 150,000 lbs.
Derek Dennis, President, Solar Atmospheres of California, said, "Every SCA employee appreciates the trust and confidence that our customers have placed in our abilities to service their vacuum heat treating, brazing and carburizing requirements. The last 6+ years of providing vacuum processing services in southern California have proven to be both challenging and rewarding. We look forward to working with our current customer base along with new customers in solving their heat treat challenges."
