KINSTON, NC: Thermal Equipment Corporation (TEC) completed the supply of another very large Autoclave System for Spirit AeroSystems.
This particular system is 22’ usable diameter by 80’ usable length. Due to its extraordinary size and weight, the Autoclave vessel itself was built on-site at the home of Spirit AeroSystems’ new facility in Kinston, North Carolina, by one of TEC’s highly experienced field crews.
“TEC is honored to be a continuing part of Spirit AeroSystems’ expansion,” said Lee Courtney, President of TEC. “This installation is yet another example of TEC’s credibility in the supply of these very large Aerospace Autoclave Systems, which is TEC’s specialty.”
TEC is the world’s leader in the design and supply of large Aerospace Autoclave Systems*. We have designed and manufactured more 15-foot diameter and larger autoclaves than all other manufacturers combined worldwide. Due to TEC's unparalleled experience, we recently provided Spirit AeroSystems with the first 30-foot, working diameter system, under budget and on time.
TEC also designed and supervised the construction and installation of two large Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Autoclave Systems in Japan for the Boeing 787 Program, making TEC the largest supplier of 787 Autoclave Systems world-wide.
TEC has been successfully designing and building large Autoclave Systems for nearly 40 years. As pioneers in the industry, Thermal Equipment Corporation published Autoclave Cure Systems* in the ASM Engineering Handbook 20 years ago, most of which remains relevant to Autoclave Systems today.
TEC Autoclaves are always imitated, but never duplicated! We know Autoclaves… "It’s What We Do", and we do it better than anyone else in our industry. Click here to request more information...
