The industry is faced with the challenge of saving energy on a large scale. This is the only way to reduce costs and ensure climate-friendly production. However, this new efficiency must not be at the expense of quality. Improvements that combine high-performance and sustainability are therefore in demand. This demand becomes a complex task where industrial processes require a particularly large amount of energy. This is the case, for example, in high-temperature vacuum furnaces used for various heat treatment processes, such as in aviation or medical technology, where working temperatures between 1,000 and 1,800⁰C are reached.
Plansee has developed a new generation of hot zones for industrial furnaces. All versions of the new models save a significant amount of energy – even at maximum performance thanks to a number of optimizations. This lowers the operating costs in the high-temperature process and reduces the CO2 footprint, thus benefiting the customers who can also configure their hot zone individually.
