Standard Features
FEAT. 1
Hot Wall Vacuum Chamber
-
Temperature Uniformity: ±2°C between independent zones.
-
Faster Degassing: Increased productivity.
-
Reduced Arc Discharges: Improved stability.
-
Uniform Gas Distribution: Consistent results.
-
Easy Maintenance: Accessible heating elements and insulation.
FEAT. 2
Lifting System
The hydraulic system lifts and rotates the bell to facilitate the loading and unloading of parts for nitriding. It also serves as an enclosure for the gas panels, PC, and handling PLC. The ION HEAT furnace lifting system is designed to occupy a smaller footprint compared to many others on the market.
FEAT. 3
Temperature Control
Precise temperature control is achieved through the combination of ventilation channels outside the vacuum retort, an air-cooled center anode, a variable speed internal motor and fan, and three independently controlled heating/cooling zones.
FEAT. 4
Vacuum System
The heavy-duty dry vacuum pumping system, with its sealing system, guarantees final vacuum levels in less than ten minutes.
FEAT. 5
Power Supply
A bipolar pulsed plasma power supply generates the precise voltage needed to ionize process gasses and create plasma. The power electronics provide DC overcurrent protection, detect arcs in less than 200 nanoseconds, ensure frequency flexibility, turn off pulses in under 1 μs, and allow for duty cycles with repeatable results.
FEAT. 6
Gas Panel
Subsystem that injects the precise gas mixture and ensures that the nitriding atmosphere follows the metallurgical recipe. It includes mass flow controllers for nitrogen and hydrogen. Additional gasses like Argon and Methane can be added upon customer’s request for specific process variations.
FEAT. 7
Controls And Data Storage
The PLC automation system controls all process variables. Additionally, it allows the creation, storage, and recall of process recipes, as well as intuitive report generation for internal control or certification bodies. It features a web-based HMI and easy remote monitoring from any desktop or mobile device.

Optional features
01
EXTRA POWER SUPPLY
If you need a large surface area, you'll require significantly more plasma energy (current density calculation).
02
VIEWPORTS AND CAMERAS
Side viewports allow you to visualize the process inside the furnace, and a camera captures images through one of these viewports. This is useful for generating reports for customers or control authorities.
03
EXTRA GASES
Argon and methane mass flow controllers for processing stainless steel or running FNC (ferritic nitrocarburizing).
04
CONTROLLED POST OXIDATION
Vacuum safe oxygen probe for controlling post-oxidation processes, achieving a nice black finish that is highly protective against corrosion. *Requires internal recirculation motor and fan.
