Triple chamber vacuum furnace for low pressure carburizing (LPC) and high pressure gas quenching in semi-continuous production mode – CaseMaster Evolution T  Cost-effective surface hardening by low pressure carburizing (LPC) and high pressure gas quenching in a triple chamber vacuum furnace.The CaseMaster Evolution T replaces today’s conventional semi-continuous processes under protective atmosphere followed by oil quenching, for truly vacuum heat treatment with low pressure carburizing and nitrogen gas quenching resulting in precision and replicability, and allows for the adaptation to modern industry requirements. The CaseMaster Evolution T is a triple-chamber vacuum furnace designed for high volume case hardening processing based on low pressure carburizing (LPC) and gas quenching in the semi-continuous production mode. It is built of three separated, functional chambers: loading and pre-heating chamber, process chamber (LPC), gas quenching and unloading chamber. It’s designated for heat processing of variety of components and steel grades commonly carried out in traditional equipment. The triple chamber furnace provides vacuum and gas quenching quality as well as high throughput.

The CMe-T is a triple-chamber furnace equipped with a loading/pre-heating chamber (1) at a loading side, a heating/process chamber (2) and a oil or high pressure gas quenching chamber (3), separated from each other and ambient conditions. It works in semi-continuous mode, loaded from one side and unload from another. The furnace treats 3 loads at the same time in a very efficient way. All these result in significant increases in a furnace throughput, as much as twice or even three times, compared to single- or double-chamber furnaces.
