AVS Inc.: The Industry Leader in High Temperature Furnace Manufacturing

At AVS, Inc. we are constantly tuned in to the emerging technologies that necessitate newer and smarter furnace parameters. Our high temperature furnace equipment is suited for the most demanding applications. AVS has manufactured custom furnaces for operations such as production of ceramics, purification of graphite and melting quartz.

Our furnaces care capable of providing consistent and precisely controllable temperatures up to 3000°C, vacuum levels to 10-6 torr, gas pressures to 3000 psig (200 bar), hydraulic hot pressing forces greater than 1200 tons, and critical gas atmospheric control. Besides, we can also integrate other crucial features such as differential pressure control, partial pressure sweep gas, CVD, and hydrogen burn-off for high temperature processes with greater efficiency.

We can entirely custom build hot zones for the most complex high temperature furnace applications. A case in point would be our furnaces that have been used for processing specialty materials such as carbides and nitrides. Besides, our furnaces are widely used today for creating silicon carbide, boron carbide and silicon nitride components for industrial, aerospace and military use. AVS custom builds furnaces with both, graphite heater elements or refractory metal hot zones.

Indeed, these are just a few of the attributes that have made us the most respectable name in the high temperature furnace manufacturing industry today. With over four decades of experience in cutting-edge furnace technology, AVS, Inc. is your partner in perfection. For more details about our capabilities and services, please visit www.avsinc.com.

Your Definitive Source for Furnaces and Industrial Autoclave

For over four decades, AVS, Inc. has been manufacturing fully compliant and certified vacuum furnaces and pressure furnaces to customers across the globe. With cutting-edge expertise in furnace design, engineering, ASME certified welding, controls engineering, and integration of fully customized furnace systems, we have been able to keep pace with the evolving requirements of different industry verticals. The AVS blog is an extension of our efforts to keep existing and potential clientele updated about our latest product information, tips and events.

AVS industrial autoclave range is extensively used in industries such as composites manufacturing and metal heat treating. We are fully certified for ASME Section VIII, Division 1, enabling us to weld our own pressure vessels under the most stringent parameters. AVS is almost certainly the only industry player that offers a standard 5 year chamber warranty, and this is a clear reflection of the confidence we have in our products.

When it comes to the safety of an industrial autoclave, our team leaves absolutely nothing to chance. A case in point would be the AVS automatic hydraulic locking rings that securely seal the chamber door for safe, reliable operation under pressure. We can meet your exacting specifications pertaining to convective temperature, product heat and cool at your prescribed rates, vacuum controls, and other criteria.

AVS, Custom Furnace Manufacturer

To remain the premier provider of custom furnaces in the industry AVS applies more than 40 years of experience as a furnace manufacturer. Hundreds of AVS furnaces sold worldwide include all types of vacuum furnaces, sintering furnaces, HIP furnaces and other high temperature furnaces. Expanded functionality also enables the fabrication of debinding furnaces, hot press furnaces and industrial autoclaves. The mastery of more complex capabilities enables AVS to design, engineer and manufacture of furnaces requiring the most sophisticated of process and furnace controls, such as those necessary for CVD furnaces or MIM furnaces.

AVS Sinter HIPs have been tailored for the specific requirements of tungsten carbide sintering, combining unique capabilities for paraffin or binder removal, pre-sintering and hot isostatic press densification into a single piece of equipment for production of tungsten carbide hard metal products. AVS also provides custom furnaces enabling tungsten carbide manufacturers to recycle tungsten carbide using the zinc reclaim process. AVS zinc reclaim furnaces have the capacity to recover batches of 600# or 1200# of tungsten carbide in a single furnace run. Today these AVS specialty furnaces dominate the tungsten carbide sintering furnace market.

In 2006, AVS acquired exclusive ownership of the Hetherington line of bell style furnaces. These vertical furnaces feature all-metal hot zones with stationary hearths, high vacuum and wet or dry hydrogen capabilities, making them ideal for semiconductor or medical products. Current owners of Hetherington furnaces can get replacement Hetherington components, or have their equipment serviced by AVS. AVS is also the only authorized manufacturer of new Hetherington bell style furnaces.

In addition to designing and building furnaces, AVS offers unique aftermarket and field services, such as furnace control upgrades, furnace retro-fits, refurbishment and other furnace upgrades. AVS also maintains toll furnaces on site to help our customers prove-out or optimize their processes.
