Superior Thermal Performance The circular cross section of the furnace has a larger internal heat emitting surface area which allows quicker load recovery and a lower shell surface area that reduces wall losses. Superior Temperature and Atmosphere Distribution The circular design also eliminates eddies which would be caused by sharp corners and allows effective and uniform atmosphere circulation around and beneath the work basket ensuring uniform temperature and stable atmosphere conditions. Design for Endurance Carefully considered circuitry part specification, manufacturing method and acceptance criteria ensures long trouble free performance. |
Equipment Features |
Insulation low thermal mass fibre insulation for rapid and uniform temperature recovery and atmosphere conditioning. Atmosphere Circulation Fan high alloy, rugged long life design, bung mounted. Heating System radiant tubes with bayonet electrical elements, gas or oil firing. Vestibule Sealing self adjusting positive sealing door with a supervised pilot and flame curtain. Improved Productivity reduced cycle times, higher productivity and lower operating costs. Atmosphere Control CO/CH4/CO2 analyser, Oxygen probe. Effective Quenching bi-directional, variable flow through propeller pumps within draft tubes and CFD designed baffle system ensure consistent hardness and reduced distortion. Control Systems versatile, expandable PLC system with a touch screen MMI and SCADA programming that supervises the cycle, temperature, atmosphere flow/ potential, mechanical movements and interlocks. Data acquisition of process parameters, alarm conditions & printout. Cooling & Reheating upper deck with atmosphere circulation for cooling the work basket in protective atmosphere. The system design allows cooling prior to reheating the same work basket.

Consistency of quality is better obtained when components are continuously quenched, a few pieces at a time instead of in a batch at periodic intervals. Of the total tonnage of heat treated components the majority do not require fixturing and can tumble into a quench tank. The ideal plant for all such components in terms of quality, capital cost as well as operating cost is a continuous conveyorised heating and quenching system. Components spend less time at temperature and consume less energy compared to batch furnaces. Continuous quenching, a few components at a time, ensures a high degree of quality consistency in terms of hardness, case depth and physical properties. Such plants with conveyorised auxiliary equipment for loading, washing and tempering are normally fully automated. |

Walking beam furnaces are compact plants capable of high throughput. This is achieved by the ability to stack several layers of parts one over the other which results in a sharp reduction of the thermal mass. Atmosphere gas locks at both ends and between the debinding and sintering sections improves the furnace gas quality and helps in reducing the gas consumption significantly compared to open ended furnaces. Trays are carried on raised alumina blocks that ensure a high degree of temperature uniformity across the hot zone cross section. These furnaces primarily work with N2, H2, and N2 + H2 atmospheres (with or without humidification) or in air. |
