Abstract
A hot isostatic pressing apparatus equipped with at least one hot isostatic pressing vessel having a detachable bottom lid and at least one cooling or preheating cylinder or hot isostatic pressing vessel arranged substantially on a central horizontal extension of the former vessel, which apparatus includes a rail provided in front of the former vessel and cylinder or the latter vessel with an interval between the rail and the former vessel and the cylinder or the latter vessel; and a carrier capable of reciprocally travelling between the former vessel and the cylinder or the latter vessel and including a lift frame, a lift provided with the frame and a bottom lid cradle, the cradle being provided in the form of a cantilever with lift and extending to a point underneath the former vessel when the carrier assumes a position in front of the former vessel and to another point underneath the cylinder or the latter vessel when the carrier assumes a position in front of the cylinder or the latter vessel. The above construction permits smooth and free travelling of the carrier and facilitates the overall size reduction and maintenance of the HIP apparatus. Only one carrier is required even if a plurality of HIP vessels or a plurality of HIP vessels and preheating/cooling cylinders is provided so as to improve production efficiency.
