Southwick & Meister Expand Atmosphere Heat Treat Capabilities

/ ATMOSPHERE AIR FURNACES NEWS, FEATURED NEWS, MANUFACTURING HEAT TREAT

HTD Size-PR LogoSouthwick & Meister, Inc., Meriden, Ct, has added a box furnace to expand their production capabilities. As a major manufacturer of premium-quality collets, bushings, cutting tools, and more, Southwick & Meister will continue to use its furnaces to heat treat under nitrogen atmosphere.

Lucifer Furnaces Inc.'s Model 7GT-H18 is fabricated from 10 gauge sheet steel reinforced with structural steel members continuously welded to form a solid shell for operation with a positive flow of inert atmosphere. The 9"H x 12"W x 18"L chamber is lined with 5" of a combination of lightweight firebrick hotface backed with coldface mineral wool for energy efficient operation and low outside shell temperature. Powered with 9.5 KW and heating to 2100°F, the furnace heats by heavy-gauge coiled wire elements supported in high temperature cast monolithic holders. A 1" thick cast hearth plate protects floor brick and supports the work load. Temperature is regulated with a Honeywell DC2500 digital controller.

A representative of Southwick & Meister says "it’s been a great relationship for many years."
