- VERTICAL BOTTOM VACUUM -

VERTICAL BOTTOM VACUUM

The Vertical Vacuum Furnace (VVF Series) is designed for vertical bottom loading applications. Like the horizontal vacuum furnace, the vertical bottom loading vacuum furnaces utilizes a circular design hot zone that provides for taller and larger workloads.

  • WorkHorse V

Vertical Vacuum Furnace that is used in a wide variety of applications up to 2 bar.

  • Express V

Vertical Vacuum Furnace that is used in a wide variety of applications between 6 and 10 bar.
