PTI Announces Major Expansion Including Additional HIP Unit at Concord, Ohio Facility

Pressure Technology, Inc. (PTI), a leading provider of hot isostatic pressing services, announced that the company has recently completed a major expansion of their processing facility located in Concord Township, Ohio. An integral part of the expansion was the installation of an additional hot isostatic press, bringing the company’s total to ten units. Designed to accommodate the growth of its services, the building expansion and additional processing capability will position the company to meet current and future sales growth.

“The expansion is mainly in direct response to our expanding customer base in the Mid-West region,” said David Bowles, General Manager of PTI. “The region is also home to major research facilities and production plants that are developing additive manufacturing processes which will continue to increase the demand for our hot isostatic pressing services”, he added.

The expansion has added 7,000 sq. ft. of production floor space for staging incoming customer products prior to processing and the new HIP unit, bringing the total to over 23,000 sq. ft. for the entire facility. The building expansion and additional unit will benefit PTI’s customers by providing better lead times and additional HIP capacity. Adding to the facilities overall processing capabilities, the new unit has an overall working length of 108″ and a diameter of 30″. The new unit matches the capabilities of an existing unit, also located at the Ohio facility.

The new unit can achieve a maximum temperature of 2,450° F and a maximum pressure of 25,000 PSI and is designed to accommodate parts for the aerospace, biomedical, industrial, power generation and other industries.
