Drop Quench Solution Annealing Furnace

Heat treatment of aluminium castings enhances their mechanical properties like UTS, Yield strength, Machinability and hardness. In the solution annealing procces, castings are taken to their eutectic temperature and then rapidly quenched in water. Equipment provided by Energy Systech includes the entire material handling system required to achieve this. Uniformity of temperature in the furnace results in very consistent properties in the castings.

1) Strong Elevated structure. 
2) Powerful air circulation in circular geometry giving excellent temperature uniformity. 
3) Ceramic Fibre lining giving excellent energy economy. 
4) Reliable, long life vertical heaters. 
5) Mechanical Up/Down motion with “dunking” facility. 
6) Powered movement of Tank and Door trolley. 
7) Sharp, quick quenching within 15 seconds. 
8) Can also act as a Precipitation hardening furnace.
