Horizontal Quench Furnace

10 Standard Sizes

Gas Fired or Electrically Heated
The horizontal quench furnace is a cost- effective alternative to our drop bottom furnaces and is available in ten (10) standard sizes. The equipment utilizes an electrically operated pusher/extractor mechanism that provides a quench time of 10-15 seconds, which combined with the load capacity of up to 6,000 lbs makes it ideal for a wide range of applications.

A high capacity recirculation blower, along with fully enclosed & pressurized supply ducts, delivers heated air with a combination airflow arrangement. This type of uniform airflow ensures even heat distribution throughout the work chamber and excellent temperature uniformity.

All units are fully factory tested, adjusted and certified by a 154 point quality inspection PRIOR to shipment, which results in lower installation and start-up costs. Optional PLC control, data acquisition, trending, and reporting are also available.

Application:

• The horizontal quench furnace is used for heat treating. It can be used for loads up to 6,000 lbs and has a quench time of 10-15 seconds. The horizontal quench furnace has maximum temperature ratings up to 1,400° F and provides excellent temperature uniformity.

Benefits:

• Cost effective alternative to a drop bottom furnace
• High load capacity ideal for a wide range of applications
• Automated controls available for easier operation
• Fully factory assembled and tested prior to shipment to reduce installation and start-up time
