"A European aircraft engine manufacturer has purchased a VIM furnace from the vacuum metallurgy segment of SECO/WARWICK. The system ordered is a two chamber 50 kg VIM induction furnace designed for equiaxed (EQ) casting. The furnace features a non standard design in which the mold heater, together with the mold, moves horizontally on a specially designed rail mounted trolley after casting, allowing the mold to exit the chamber.

The industrial furnace sold will be used to produce equiaxed turbine blade castings for aircraft engines. This is the Partner's first order for a SECO/WARWICK melting furnace.

The SECO/WARWICK Group specializes in manufacturing metal heat treatment and metallurgical furnaces tailored to the specific needs of its business partners. Instead of offering only standard solutions, the Group develops technologies tailored to specific production processes, quality requirements, and industry characteristics. As a result, the systems delivered high efficiency, advanced technology and flexibility, helping customers optimize processes and build a competitive advantage.

The "Tailor-made" solutions in industry is not a passing trend, but an important direction in the development of modern manufacturing. For years, SECO/WARWICK has been moving away from the "one product fits all" approach toward a model of "flexible production for many different needs." The SECO/WARWICK Group combines customization with automation, data, and an efficient supply chain to gain a strong competitive edge. The same approach was applied to this project."

"The system design was adapted to the customer's specific needs and capabilities. The furnace has a non‑standard design in which the mold elevator was replaced with a special trolley that moves horizontally on rails. Thanks to this solution, the furnace fits perfectly into the available space without any impact on its performance," said Earl Good, Managing Director of RETECH, a company within the SECO/WARWICK Group, and Vice President of the Vacuum Metallurgy Segment at SECO/WARWICK Group."
