November 2001 - Nashua, NH -- Centorr/Vacuum Industries has sold a vacuum hot press to
the prestigious Jing De Zhen Institute of Fine Ceramics in CHINA for the processing of advanced
ceramics.
The hot press can operate in vacuum, partial pressures, as well as positive pressures of
inert gas. It is rated for operation to 2300°C and a force of 300 Tons and is designed to
press 10" diameter compacts. The unit is outfitted with interchangeable press platens to also
