California Update!
2010 has begun with a bang for 91´«Ă˝ of California (SACA). Â SACA is the newest addition to the Solar family and will bring a state-of-the-art vacuum heat treating and brazing facility to the west coast.
Building and land acquisition is in full swing. Â Full approval of the project was announced at the February 18th County Planning Commission Board Meeting. Â SACA has received strong support from the State of California and the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors.
Solar Manufacturing is nearing completion on the first three furnaces to be shipped and installed in Southern California.  The premier furnace being Solars 24’ 2-bar horizontal vacuum car bottom furnace with the newly designed Z-car loading platform, capable of handling loads in excess of 100,000 lbs. at temperature applications up to 2500°F with a uniformity of +/-10°F.  This furnace will be outfitted with an energy efficient graphite insulation hot zone, thin segmented graphite resistance heating elements and dual high performance/high velocity external gas quenching system for uniform radiant heat up and cool down.  It will be the first of its kind in the Solar family and will serve as the largest commercial vacuum furnace on the west coast.  Secondly, SACA will be introducing a 10-bar horizontal front loading vacuum carburizing furnace.  This furnace will have a 24” X 24” X 72” working zone and will be capable of processing loads up to 1,500 lbs. at temperatures in excess of 2400°F.
SACA has begun the process of seeking out qualified applicants for key positions within the organization.  Qualified candidates will possess the skills and knowledge to handle the most complex metallurgical applications with consistent quality and responsive service. The future is indeed bright for 91´«Ă˝ of California.  SACA would like to become your trusted source for vacuum heat treating, vacuum brazing, vacuum carburizing & vacuum nitriding.
