If you are looking for a low-pressure vacuum furnace with multifunctionality, consider the B5_R series from the French company BMI. In addition to heat treatments such as tempering and annealing, it can also perform vacuum nitriding, oxidation treatment, and sub-zero treatment as options, all in one machine... Currently, due to exchange rate fluctuations, it is difficult to offer favorable conditions, but we would appreciate it if you could feel free to consult with us in the long term.

A variety of options are available that allow for various heat treatments such as annealing and tempering, as well as vacuum nitriding, oxidation treatment, and sub-zero treatment, all in one machine!

The low-pressure vacuum furnace B5_R series for low-temperature heat treatment maintains a temperature distribution of ±3°C within the heating chamber. Its excellent thermal uniformity enables heating and cooling in a short cycle, contributing to high productivity and profitability. The low-pressure nitriding process (ALLNIT process) uses a reduced-pressure ammonia-based nitriding atmosphere, achieving stable reproducibility and short processing times. It is an option for the B5_R series with nitriding capabilities effective for hot working tools (molds, punches, injection nozzles, etc.), cold working tools (shears, rotary combs, etc.), and cutting tools, particularly high-speed steel (HSS). Additionally, the ultra-low temperature treatment option (COOL PLUS) is effective in reducing residual austenite and stabilizing components.

The unique rotational flow cooling system achieves a reduction in thermal processing distortion. It is ideal for quenching large parts and long products that are prone to deformation, such as molds and rolling tools!

The "B8_T Series" from BMI, handled by the OSG Group Sanwa Seiki, is a horizontal vacuum gas quenching furnace designed for high-temperature heat treatment and brazing. In addition to conventional vertical cooling, it is capable of uniformly cooling large parts thanks to BMI's unique rotating flow cooling system. This reduces heat treatment distortion that is prone to occur with large components and shortens the time required for correction work. B8_T Series lineup: B83T - Load capacity 200kg, Width 450mm x Height 450mm x Depth 600mm B84T - Load capacity 600kg, Width 600mm x Height 600mm x Depth 900mm B85T - Load capacity 1000kg, Width 900mm x Height 700mm x Depth 1200mm As an option, low-pressure carburizing treatment (ALLCARB) is also available.

A small vacuum gas quenching furnace for small-scale production and research and development. The maximum load capacity of the smallest type is 20 kg, with a loading space of Φ200 mm and a height of 300 mm.

The compact BMICRO series is a space-saving and low-cost vertical vacuum gas quenching furnace, ideal for small-scale and low-volume production as well as research applications, with a maximum processing temperature of 1250°C. There are two types: BMICRO20/30 Maximum load capacity is 20kg. Loading space of Φ200mm and height of 300mm. BMICRO30/45 Maximum load capacity is 50kg. Loading space of Φ300mm and height of 450mm. Both models can be equipped with a low-pressure carburizing option (ALLCARB). The ALLCARB process, with over 20 years of proven performance, allows for deep carburizing layers to penetrate even the smallest internal holes.

Are you making progress on measures for the "2024 Problem"? With stricter management of drivers' working hours, reducing "waiting time" has become an urgent issue in the logistics field. To address this challenge, our company, Hotron, proposes the "Vehicle Detection Ultrasonic Sensor 'HM-UX2'," which instantly grasps the availability of loading bays. The 'HM-UX2' contributes to the resolution of waiting times by accurately understanding the availability situation, reducing unnecessary waiting and queueing, and shortening waiting times to alleviate the burden on drivers! By replacing the "eyes" of your loading bay management with this high-precision sensor, why not start addressing the "2024 Problem"? Take a look at the product features: "Can it accurately detect availability?" "Can we really use it in our company?" "I just want to know the cost, even if it's an estimate." If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to consult with us.
