These compact consoles serve as fast, inexpensive, and convenient systems for basic research and prototyping studies of isostatic pressing, and in small batch production operations. Laboratory CIPs include pressure vessel, pressurization system, threadless pin closure, fluid reservoir, all instrumentation and controls, and are delivered ready for connection to air and electricity.

For higher volume production applications, Avure Autoclave Systems offers a full line of ClPs with quick and reliable automated operation. Threadless pin closure models are typically quoted for vessels with work zones up to 24" in diameter. Pin closures offer some unique advantages over breech-type closures, including longer fatigue life and straight closure removal to prevent galling.

For larger work zones and maximum cycle life, Quintus® wire wound pressure vessels with yoke-and-frame closures are recommended. These heavy duty models are designed for a minimum of 300,000 cycles, and their prestressed construction provides maximum operator safety, easy loading and unloading, and less overall weight for easier installation at the site. Standard models are offered, or a model can also be custom configured to meet your needs. Contact Flow Autoclave with your requirements.

Avure Autoclave SystemsMini-HIPper® presses, with work zone diameters from 4" to 10", are designed for laboratories and lower-volume production applications. They feature computer controlled operation, prestressed wire wound vessel and liner, processing capability in both inert and reactive gases, and excellent temperature uniformity. Standard models offer a choice of Molybdenum, Graphite, Platinum, or FeCrAI furnaces. Avure Autoclave Systems unique Uniform Rapid Cooling system can be specified on certain models.

For applications requiring larger capacity and more cycles, Avure Autoclave Systems offers a line of ClPs with totally automated vessel operation. A touch of a button activates the entry and removal of the cover, threadless pin closure, water filling and draining, and controlled pressurization and decompression. This design provides quick and reliable isostatic processing for smaller scale production operations.

The Alexanderwerk Combi-Vent Feed system provides accurate control of the material flow to the rollers, while allowing displaced air to vent via the rear secion of the hooper, thereby improving the quality of the compact produced and increasing the throughput efficiency of the roller compaction process. Increases as high as 200% of the intial rate have been achieved. The system is particularly adventageous for light bulk density materials.

Main Features

Separate supply of raw material and fine granules or dust - Coarse granule feed to assist your input, if required - Good mixing in the auger section

Advantages

Direct positive effect on compacting - Defined, reduced resistance venting of the product via the auger housing and the "free" fine granule shaft. - Constant scale and granulate quality - Quiet Roller Compactor operation - Careful handling of the sealing between the auger shaft - and housing - Easy regulation of the raw material feed

The system is the result of the Alexanderwerk philosophy that compacted product is only as good as the reliable supply of material to the rollers will allow. Consitent feed supply leads to consistant density of flake and the corresponding high quality final product.

Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is a process that uniquely combines pressure and temperature to produce materials and parts with substantially better properties than other methods. The pressure medium is an inert gas, normaly Argon. Low temperature and high isostatic pressure, up to 300 MPa (3000 bar/44,000 psi), yield better controlled grain growth and structure as well as isotropic properties, which result in the superior performance characteristics typical for HIP'ed parts.

HIP applications include defect healing of castings, consolidation of metal powder (pre-form and near-net shaped parts), consolidation of ceramic powders, and sintering of diamond tools.

Avure Technologies Isostatic presses are widely recognized as the leading brand in the world. This is due to the Company's technological superiority in a number of areas, particularly in the institutional knowledge related to engineering, design, manufacturing and the application of high pressure. The first QUINTUS ^® isostatic press was delivered in 1965.

AVURE offers a full line of standard models of Hot Isostatic Presses for medium and large scale production or models can also be custom configured to meet your needs. These presses are available with furnace diameters of up to 2 m (6.5 feet) for pressures ranging from 40 to 300 MPa (400 - 3,000 bar/6,000 - 44,000 psi) and temperatures from 500 to 3,000 °C (900-5400 °F).
