Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1555330A2] The arrangement has a heat-insulated transport chamber (10) to hold work pieces (20). The chamber is moved horizontally and designed to be vacuum-tight, and evacuated of air to create vacuum to protect work pieces from environmental influences. The chamber has a heating unit for heating a treatment chamber. The transport chamber has removable thermal insulation made of steel. A vacuum pump evacuates the air from the transport chamber. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a system for heat treating metallic work pieces; and (b) a method of transporting metallic work pieces during a heat treatment process.
