Furnaces & heat treatment

Horizontal chamber furnaces in two series

Horizontal chamber furnaces are produced in two distinct series for a maximum working temperature between 500 and 700°C and used for stress-relieving, tempering, structural hardening, ageing, annealing of non-ferrous materials and for various applications for the chemical-glass manufacture. The main characteristic of these plants is the high thermal efficiency, achieved by using ceramic fibres in several layers at differentiated density without thermal links, for the insulation; mass-less wire heating elements with a special form, placed directly in the air circuit. A patented vitrifying system together with the special design of the internal deflector and of the high-revolutions fan for the air circulation, allow a temperature uniformity of ± 5°C inside the treatment chamber.
