RCH original corporate headquarters in Fremont, California.

With early success and 30 years of direct experience in all aspects of furnace design and processing, RCH expanded to include newly manufactured furnace systems. The key premises of the designs were to assure pristine equipment, maintenance simplicity, ruggedness and consistent process results. To this day RCH is noted as the premier supplier of high quality furnace processing systems with close attention to cost-effectiveness and value.

A major focus of the company is now the RCH Steamer™, an ultra purity steam generation device for Semiconductor, Solar, and Science applications. Utilizing a proprietary membrane filter, this turn-key solution allows users to flow up to 50SLM of pure, organic-free steam without the need for H2. Users only need to supply DI:H2O. RCH produces new steamers and supports existing units for customers worldwide.

The company continues ongoing efforts to improve all aspects of equipment design, reliability, modularity and operation ease. After 2 1/2 years of development and field-testing the ASTRA Control System was released in 2008.  With ASTRA, which is fully modern and incorporates microcomputer, Ethernet and Touch Screen operation, RCH has optimized this key equipment attribute. ASTRA is available on all RCH furnace models. In addition, it may be used to upgrade most existing furnace systems and may be customized for other equipment applications.
