18" diameter by 36" high graphite heating element. The heating element
accommodates a customer supplied, proprietary retort. The furnace is rated for operation
to temperatures in excess of 2200°C in up to 2 psig of process gas. A high vacuum pumping
system is supplied for pre-processing evacuation of the furnace chamber to a vacuum level
of 1 x 10-6 torr.

facilitate access to the interior of the processing chamber for routine maintenance and
inspection of the hot zone and related components. This feature also provides easy access
to the work zone for loading and unloading of work pieces. Other custom features were
incorporated to ensure successful integration of the new equipment with their process and
