Bell-type batch annealing furnaces

Rad-Con, Inc, USA, has over 40 years’ experience in the design of bell-type batch annealing furnaces, and the company engineers, manufactures, installs, and supports high-capacity, robust systems for the wire and wire-rod industry, with innovations in convection design, atmosphere analysis and temperature control of bell annealing equipment. Efficient performance of the system’s convection flow is critically important to the end-quality of the annealed material. Rad-Con’s 100% Hydrogen Super-High Convection (H2SHC)™ system utilises advanced fan designs combined with a 100% hydrogen atmosphere, resulting in greater temperature uniformity throughout the charge, low utility costs, and clean, decarb-free product. Modern control technology allows for ease of operation and maintenance of required advanced safety systems for 100% hydrogen, with redundant safety elements to eliminate operator error. The company has also developed the AC/APEx™ atmosphere control system, which couples gas stream analysis with closed-loop process control, to improve
