European Heat Treater Adds Vacuum Furnaces-“The Monty” Tells You More

“Dominial Heat Treat” in the Netherlands, is in the process of adding two more vacuum furnaces to bring their total to 7 with more to come. The new additions each have a weight capacity of 800kg (roughly 2,000 pounds) and working dimensions of 1200 X 900 X 700 mm (approximately 48″ X 36″ X 28″”). One of the furnaces is installed and in production with the second in the process of being installed.

“Dominial” is a privately owned commercial heat treat owned by “Mr. Aad Hersbach” and as it turns out “The Monty Heat Treat News” is very familiar with the firm having interviewed Aad in 2022, in interview which can be found at “Dominial Heat Treatment-The Interview”.

It’s interesting that the company earned a place in our news section today for expanding their vacuum heat treatment department when we think of the company mainly for having some of the largest pit carburizing furnaces in Europe. While the interview referenced above gives you details about their pit furnaces we can summarize by saying that “Dominial” has 4 pit carburizing furnaces each with working dimensions of roughly 106” diameter X 137” deep and a weight capacity of 20,000 kilograms per load (44,000 pounds). These photos show both the pit furnaces and part of the vacuum furnace department.
