Process Capabilities

  • Case Carburising
  • Carbonitriding
  • Neutral Hardening
  • Carbon Restoration
  • Nitrocarburising
  • Normalising
  • Annealing
  • 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.
