- Key Products/Technologies
- **Material Densification**: Offers HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing), WIP (Warm Isostatic Pressing), and CIP (Cold Isostatic Pressing) systems. HIP technology applies pressures up to 2000 bar and temperatures up to 2000°C to enhance material properties and achieve 100% theoretical density. Systems like the QIH 200 URC integrate proprietary High Pressure Heat Treatment (HPHT) technology, combining stress-relief, HIP, high-temperature solution annealing, high-pressure gas quenching, and precipitation hardening into one furnace cycle. Quintus Purus® technology ensures the cleanest possible atmosphere during HIP cycles, reducing the risk of oxidation in materials like titanium alloys.**Material Densification**: Offers HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing), WIP (Warm Isostatic Pressing), and CIP (Cold Isostatic Pressing) systems.

- **High Pressure Processing (HPP)**: A natural, scientifically validated technology for food preservation, enhancing food safety, extending shelf life, and maintaining flavor, freshness, and nutrients. HPP uses ultra-high pressure instead of high temperatures or preservatives to inactivate foodborne pathogens and reduce waste. The QIF series features the industry's largest vessel diameter (47 cm), enabling higher product volume per cycle and reducing operating costs. The QIF 600L, launched in October 2024, offers a 600-liter cycle capacity and can process up to 4,150 kg per hour. This technology is also effective for inactivating pathogens in seafood and facilitating meat extraction from shellfish.**High Pressure Processing (HPP)**: A natural, scientifically validated technology for food preservation, enhancing food safety, extending shelf life, and maintaining flavor, freshness, and nutrients.
