VAC AERO’s Corporate Management moves into New Head Office.

OAKVILLE, Ontario, (June 29, 2009)

VAC AERO has relocated its Corporate Head Office to 5420 North Service Road, Suite 205 in Burlington, Ontario. An integral part of our Thermal Processing Division’s Lean Manufacturing inspired re-organization plan requires moving our accounting, administration and executive management offices out of our production facility to free up needed plant space. The new offices are located 9 kms (5.5 miles) away from the Thermal Processing and Furnace Manufacturing facilities. The move does not involve any changes to our telephone numbers, mailing address or other contact coordinates.

VAC AERO is launching a New Monthly Vacuum Brazing Column with Dan Kay!

We are pleased to announce the launch of a New Vacuum Brazing column in the April 2009 issue of VAC AERO’s What’s HOT! NEWSLETTER

The new column, written by brazing expert Dan Kay will be published monthly and will offer helpful vacuum brazing applications, tips and techniques to commercial and captive heat treaters alike. Dan Kay is an independent brazing consultant, who has consented to write articles on brazing for VAC AERO since many of our vacuum furnaces are used for brazing. However, his willingness to provide this service to VAC AERO readers does not imply his specific endorsement of our furnaces, but rather his desire to help VAC AERO furnace users to understand brazing better.

Thermal Division Implements an Energy Optimization System.

VAC AERO has successfully completed the installation and start up of a a Dibalog Energy Optimisation System (EOS) at its Oakville, Ontario heat treating facility which operates more than two dozen vacuum and atmosphere furnaces.

The EOS is designed to reduce the Oakville plant’s total peak electrical demand. In many jurisdictions peak demand is the highest average demand in any fifteen minute time span during the billing period. In Ontario, Canada, peak demand is used to calculate the delivery charge at Oakville Hydro. (Consumption is independent of the peak demand and is billed as a different line item on the bill). Therefore, since a significant portion of the plant’s electrical energy costs are determined by its peak demand, electrical energy costs can be significantly reduced by lowering this peak demand value…read more.

Case Study to be published in Industrial Heating Magazine. In June, a case study based on first-year results of the dibalog EOS implementation at VAC AERO will be published in Industrial Heating Magazine’s “Energy-Conservation Focus” issue.
