A manufacturer is expanding their heat treat capacities with a new box furnace, designed for air atmosphere applications, from a North American furnace provider.

Lindberg/MPH's heat treat furnace has a maximum temperature rating of 1,250°F and a load capacity of 6,000 lbs and is designed to accept fixtures that are 48" wide by 84" deep by 48" high. A full-width roller hearth is located across the furnace chamber floor for manual loading and load support. Temperature is controlled by a Honeywell DC2500 Series controller with an adjustable alarm set-point and latching output relay; the controller disconnects the power to the heating elements and sounds an audible alarm in an event that temperature exceeds desired set-point.

“The high velocity forced heating system circulates heat evenly within the furnace chamber," commented Bill St. Thomas, business development manager at Lindberg/MPH. "[This] assures rapid and uniform heat transfer throughout the workload.”

Auto Supplier Expands Heat Treating Capabilities with New Oven

HTD Size-PR LogoA leading automotive supplier in the U.S. recently received a large oven for its operations. This furnace was customized with a heavy duty cast work tray which sits on the floor of the chamber inside the liner area to support the workload and protect the floor brick.

4000 Series Oven from Lucifer Furnaces

The 4000 series oven from Lucifer Furnaces is a Model 42-T36 and has a chamber size of 30″H x 30″W x 36″L, heating to 1200°F with 35 KW of power.

This model is complete with a high CFM rear mounted fan assembly to recirculate the heated air uniformly throughout the chamber. A stainless-steel liner isolates the heating elements from the work area and directs air forward over the heating elements and back through the chamber in a horizontal pattern for uniform heating.

The horizontal swing door is lined with lightweight pyroblock insulation with a ceramic fiber gasket to reduce heat loss around the chamber opening. A safety microswitch automatically shuts off power to heating elements and fan when door is opened, eliminating electric shock and heat blast hazards to oven operator. Controls include a Honeywell digital time proportioning temperature controller accessorized with a high limit controller for safety in the event of a high temp excursion.
