SECO/WARWICK delivered its first in Germany Universal Batch CAB furnace that allows for brazing the variety of the aluminium heat exchangers, in horizontal as well as vertical position. Aurora has acquired the new technology exceeding competitors, ensuring modern technology of aluminum brazing with better process parameters, lower consumption and shorter process time.
New SECO/WARWICK Universal Batch CAB furnace ensures the highest flexibility of the production plan. The possibility of placing the products in the vertical, as well as horizontal position, removes any limitation caused by the heat exchanger design brazing position. The nitrogen convection used during the heating and brazing process reduces the cycle time keeping standard temperature uniformity at the brazed part. The same advantages of convection are used also during the cooling phase in the purging/cooling vestibule. The design of Universal Batch CAB furnace allows for the future upgrading of the furnace for the higher capacity which is unique.
This type of SECO/WARWICK Controlled Atmosphere Brazing (CAB) equipment was delivered also outside Europe to Russia, Thailand and the USA. The universality of a low volume CAB equipment allows for brazing all kinds of aluminum heat exchangers. It is dedicated for the production of short series for aftermarket and special demands. SECO/WARWICK produces the CAB equipment not only for OEM but also for small and medium-sized manufacturers.
