Horizontal Solution Heat Treat Furnace - Despatch Industries

INSPIRED INNOVATION
u Horizontal
Solution Heat Treat Furnace
Designed for smaller components
The horizontal solution heat treat furnace is used for heat treating
smaller components and provides many of the features of more
expensive drop bottom type furnaces.
Installation effort required for this furnace is minimal. The
furnace utilizes a powered roller conveyor system and a
pneumatically operated quench elevator located directly in front
of the furnace above the quench tank. The elevator is complete
with guide columns and is shipped preassembled ready for
immediate set-up. Air piping and interconnecting wiring from
the furnace to the control cabinet must be accomplished in the
field. The door is pneumatically clamped against the furnace
front for a tight seal.

Operation
The furnace is preheated. The operator loads the work
basket onto the load and unload conveyor. When the
operator pushes the cycle start button, the furnace door
opens automatically and the work basket is conveyed across
the quench elevator roller bed and into the furnace. The
pre-programmed heat cycle is run using the touch screen
operator control and is timed by the PLC for the required
heat cycle. After the heat cycle is completed, the furnace
door automatically opens and the work basket is conveyed
onto the quench elevator. The furnace door automatically
closes after the work basket has exited the furnace and
the work basket is then quenched automatically. The
work basket is automatically raised from the quench tank,
allowed to drip dry, then is conveyed to the load and unload
conveyor station for removal by the operator.
