NATIONAL MINTS OPT FOR SECO/WARWICK FURNACE TECHNOLOGY

Mint in Cairo opts for Vector vacuum furnace

The Vector® vacuum furnace with 15 bar high-pressure gas quenching is equipment that perfectly fits the operating performance requirements of mints. The Vector enables quick heat treatment, with a working space that is optimum for circulating and collection coins, embossing dies, medals, and special orders. Furnaces with a graphite round heating chamber can be used for a majority of standard hardening, tempering, annealing, solution heat treating and brazing processes. In the mint industry, Vector vacuum furnaces are very popular as they ensure powerful, uniform gas cooling, which guarantees the high hardness and durability of mint tools. The perfect quality of mint punches and other products is ensured by the very high purity vacuum atmosphere. The parameters of the equipment purchased by the Egyptian Mint are very similar to the solutions delivered by SECO/WARWICK last year to the Mint of Poland — one of the most technologically advanced mints in the world. Some of the equipment installed by SECO/WARWICK has been operated by this customer for over 9 years.
