VAR-S Vacuum Arc Remelt Furnace
Designed for specialty steel and superalloy processing
Designed and optimized for the clean remelting standards associated with specialty steels and non-reactive metals, Retech’s VAR-S consists of five major sub-assemblies. Each one is independently built, pre-finished, assembled and tested. This modular-build approach ensures repeatable assembly procedures as well as accuracy in making critical adjustments, performing incremental inspections, and testing. The electromechanical design keeps the system compact and eliminates the need for hydraulic systems which can become a contamination source. The modularity also minimizes shipping, offloading, and on-site assembly times.
Capacity Options:
- Large systems with up to 1100 mm diameter crucibles
- Medium systems with up to 800 mm diameter crucibles
- Small systems with up to 400 mm diameter crucibles
- Custom designs optimized to the customer’s requirements
