ECM has been manufacturing Vacuum Furnaces since 1963. Today this traditional activity is provided by it subsidiaries ECM INFRAFOURS which is in charge of design to final acceptance; while a large part of activity is also dedicated to aftermarket support.
Today we count more than 1,500 furnaces delivered worldwide for a large scale application.The ECM range offers equipment for heat treating metals, alloys and other materials in a vacuum. The diversity of the processes requires implementation of technologies which are optimized for each application.
From 150 to 2,800 °C, from a several cubic centimetres to several cubic metres of effective volume, from atmospheric pressure to a molecular vacuum; and up to 20 bars during cooling; ECM is ready for any of these technological and industrial challenges.
