Sulzer Metco: Compact and Powerful Nitriding System
The new nitriding system Ionit-Compact.
The new nitriding system Ionit-Compact.
There is a demand for small and medium-sized plasma nitriding systems that allow efficient, versatile in-house treatment without sacrificing high quality. After an intensive development phase, Sulzer Metaplas, a company of Sulzer Metco, presents a new, well-engineered, and efficient plasma-nitriding system: Ionit®-Compact.

RPM-controlled blowers and high-tech insulation material providing excellent heat insulation in the bell make possible new forms of temperature control and air-cooling. Batch temperature remains constant within ±5°C, a precision previously unattained in the market. The hydraulic lift system enables vibration-free lifting and lowering of the furnace bell as well as horizontal movement of the bell out of the work area. The Ionit-Compact system is equipped with a control system offering highest possible standards for process control, reproducibility, reliability, convenience, maintenance, troubleshooting, and safety. The fast arc shutoff improves nitriding result.

All components of the system, such as bell furnace, lift system, controller, pulse plasma generator, pump system, and gas regulation station, are built on a single base frame. This design eliminates long and costly installation and setup times on the customer site. The construction of the system also reduces space requirement and time from the order to production.
