Criotec Impianti

Criotec Impianti is an Italian SME founded in 1988, specialized in cryogenic, high vacuum and turn-key equipment.
The company is able to manage the whole process, from the analysis and design to the manufacturing, test, on-site installation and commissioning.

Its main products are: LHe cryostats, special cryogenic systems, VIP lines, high vacuum equipment, TVC (Thermal Vacuum Chambers) with temperature control down to 10K, thermal cycling chambers, active and passive cryogenic thermal shields, stainless steel piping for pure gas distribution, cryogenic vaporizers and aerospace components. Moreover, since 2010, Criotec became a world leading company in the manufacturing of CIC (Cable-In-Conduit) conductors of Nb3Sn and NbTi, especially for ITER project.

Criotec increased its capabilities in 2016 with the realization of a new ISO8 clean room in its premises in Chivasso equipped with two Thermal Vacuum Chambers, the biggest one with an opening of 3 m and a length of 4 m, suitable to test aerospace components and perform characterization, qualification and acceptance tests. Moreover, since the TVC, as well as all the control and acquisition system, have been designed and manufactured internally by Criotec, it is possible easily to adapt them to customer’s requirements.

Criotec most important customers are the Italian, European and Worldwide research centres, like CERN in Genève, the most important European research institute, where in collaboration with their engineers and physics we achieved significant successes relating LHC and CMS experiment. A fundamental experience of quality and quantity that has brought us to receive from CERN the “CMS Gold Award” in 2005.

The collaboration with of fundamental research facilities is a source of continuous incentives for Criotec. Move the limit “beyond” is the working method that is acquired working in close contact with researchers.

During the development of a project, engineers and technicians of Criotec work together with technicians and researchers of the laboratories. Starting with a basic specification that outlines the final product, the skills and experiences of Criotec join with customer knowledge to the best outcome of the project. The advantage of the constant technical progress and enterprise technology has a positive impact also from a commercial point of view for industrial customers who found in Criotec a high-profile partner for the realization of its plants.
