Vacuum Furnace Engineering Limited - The Specialists in Vacuum Furnace Technology

Powder Production Equipment
Retech supplies systems that utilise a variety of melting techniques in conjunction with three powder production technologies: gas atomisation, spin cup atomisation and spin wheel casting. The spin wheel casters produce a very fine flake, which is usually further reduced in size. The charge can be melted by plasma, Rototrode®, consumable arc, and hot or cold wall induction.

Each technology produces products with unique metallurgical and geometric properties that vary with application. Retech's background and experience allow us to match customers' specific process requirements with the most appropriate technology.
