Record MegaCIP system commissioned

The world's largest isostatic press supplied by Avure Technologies AB Sweden and its US sister company Flow Autoclave Systems Inc has been successfully commissioned and handed over to their US customer. This MegaCIP system is used for the compaction of powdered materials. The wire-wound pre-stressed pressure vessel inner dimensions are diameter 1.8m (73") by height 5.5m (215"). The working pressure is 138 MPa (20,000 psi) and the system can process 8 tons of powder material per batch. The weight of the machine is 300 tons, which is only of the corresponding weight of a conventional non pre-stressed cold about 50% isostatic press.

Avure Technologies AB and Flow Autoclave Systems Inc based in Västerås, Sweden and Columbus, Ohio respectively offer a full range of cold and hot isostatic presses from laboratory size to MegaCIPs and MegaHIPs. Both companies are members of the Flow International Corporation group, the world's leading developer and supplier of ultra-high pressure equipment and pumps for waterjet cutting and surface preparation.

From May 22nd to 25th Avure Technologies will participate in the international conference HOT ISOSTATIC PRESSING, HIP 2005 in Paris where the company will present papers on HIP Equipment Safety and HIP Process Economics.
