Akarmak (Eskişehir, Türkiye) offers integrated composite curing autoclaves with advanced control systems. The company also provides turnkey solutions for the industry, including auxiliary equipment such as vacuum, cooling and pressurization systems, and loading carts.

Since 1990, Akarmak has been manufacturing industrial autoclaves with the latest technology for various industrial applications — composite curing, glass lamination, tire coating/rubber curing, building materials (aerated concrete), food and waste sterilization. With its experience, robust infrastructure and comprehensive autoclave production program, it delivers complete autoclave systems with rapid-closing bayonet door systems up to 5 m in diameter and 63 m in length. Working dimensions up to 6.5 m in diameter and 20 m in length are possible, with operating capability up to 400°C and 70-bar pressure. 

All autoclaves feature control software with optimized process control, part identification, reporting and tracking capabilities, facilitating process analysis, historical operation tracking, calibration and maintenance. Additional features include an optimum air circulation system and homogeneous heat distribution; heat insulation and cooling control via user-friendly heating and cooling battery systems; and turnkey solution options (cooling, vacuum, loading systems and pressurization, e.g., air and nitrogen).

Akarmak’s autoclaves are used worldwide by its clients in the aerospace, motorsport and ballistics sectors, to name a few. The company says that its products are fully compliant with international autoclave specifications such as Boeing BSS-7123 (formerly D6-49327), BAC 5317, Airbus AP-3222, Nadcap and AMS2750. To certify its autoclaves manufactured in accordance with CE, ASME, and other certifications, the company collaborates with internationally recognized certification organizations such as Bureau Veritas and TUV.
