The VAB chamber furnace with a\u00a0loading system is a\u00a0device dedicated to\u00a0the vacuum brazing of aluminum. By\u00a0employing an effective and efficient technology that does not require flux (no\u00a0flux technology), environmental safety can be\u00a0significantly increased while ensuring reproducible results. This solution guarantees high heating uniformity and minimizes production shortages due to\u00a0the optimized placement of heating elements, facilitating the maintenance of consistent conditions for each batch location.<\/p>\n

The VAB chamber furnace with a loading system is equipped with a high-performance system for achieving a high vacuum and an optimized heating chamber. It provides customers with high-quality parts, particularly for the brazing of heat exchangers, owing to its well-designed structure and heater configuration.<\/p>\n
The VAB 2xX is a horizontally oriented, single-chamber high-vacuum furnace dedicated to aluminum brazing. It features a rectangular housing and two parallel-oriented charges. The heating chamber consists of easily removable panels that can be taken outdoors. Additionally, it is equipped with a multi-zone heating system, covering each wall of the chamber and the space between the two parallel batches. This solution allows for precise control and temperature regulation. The furnace housing is designed as a single wall, aimed at maintaining the inner wall of the furnace at a specific temperature, thereby eliminating condensation. Soldered parts are placed on fixtures in the form of pendants, suspended on rails, and transported to the furnace in a hanging form.<\/p>\n
