Specifications
On cast point rollers supported on HK Alloy cast rails.
Capacities vary from 150 kg/hr to 1500 kg/hr, depending on the cycle time.
2 pushers within the furnace, 1 for each row.
Operating temperature is 790ºC, and maximum temperature is 900ºC.
Heaters are located on the two sides of the furnace chamber, inserted vertically from the top.
Temperature control is automatic through PID Controllers, with thermocouples.
Controlled cooling is facilitated by SS 304 cooling pipes and a blower with manual damper control.
It is suited for case depth up to 0.06mm to 0.08mm variation.
Circular fans are evenly spaced within the furnace to ensure uniform heat distribution.
Advantages include lower gas consumption, short carburization time, and low heat dissipation.
Types
Gas Fired
The gas alternative for the continuous pusher type furnace uses natural gas as the primary energy source. This can help achieve high temperatures, suitable for applications that require intense heat. It is ideal for annealing and hardening of steel components.
Advantages
Requires Less Floor Space
Continuous Pusher type Furnace are designed to process materials in a linear and continuous manner, eliminating the need for large batch processing areas. This allows for a compact design.
Less Power Consumption
Continuous Pusher furnaces are designed to maintain consistent temperature and minimize the need for repeated heating cycles. Continuous furnaces maintain a steady state of operation, ensuring efficient use of energy.
Good Carburizing Quality
HIGHTEMP’s Continuous Pusher Furnace ensures controlled atmosphere throughout the furnace, making it highly effective for the carburising process. The consistent flow of materials helps with uniform case hardening.
Low Heat Dissipation
The Pusher furnace is designed with advanced insulation materials that have low thermal conductivity. This helps reduce heat loss through the furnace walls and to maintain consistent internal temperatures.
Reduced Cycle Time
HIGHTEMP’s Continuous Pusher Furnace allows for shorter cycle times compared to batch processing enabling higher throughput and reduced per-unit cost of heat treatment.
