Key Points: 
  • ThermVac Inc. , Korea's specialty manufacturer for vacuum furnaces, said that the carbon purification vacuum furnace which has been installed in the Pohang plant of Ibiden Graphite Korea, a Korean unit of Japan's Ibiden Co., Ltd., is currently working successfully.
  • With a loading capacity of 2,000 kg (work zone: 4.5m3, 1500W*1500H*2000D mm), this equipment is a super-large furnace purifying the carbon products to be used in semiconductor, photovoltaic and fiber optics industries.
  • An official of Ibiden said, "Unlike other Japanese furnaces, the purification furnace of ThermVac 1) can maintain the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the retort muffle at an optimal level, discharge all the chloride to the furnace outside and thereby keep the interior of the vacuum furnace very clean.
  • Recently, ThermVac has developed and completed a two-chamber type carbon purification furnace with a structure that separates the heating chamber and the cooling chamber and is now verifying its durability.
