A belt type furnace, specifically a mesh belt furnace, is a versatile and efficient piece of equipment designed for high-volume heat treatment processes.
It is particularly suitable for treating formed, forged, and machined components that require careful handling to prevent damage.
Mesh belt furnaces are equipped to minimize the risk of contamination and mixing of components during processing.
These furnaces are capable of handling a wide range of capacities, from 45 kg/h to 3,175 kg/h, making them a preferred choice for manufacturers seeking high return on investment.
5 Key Features of Mesh Belt Furnaces
1. Design and Capacity
Mesh belt furnaces are pre-designed in standard dimensions for rated capacities ranging from 200 kg to 500 kg per hour, ensuring optimal production, delivery, and installation.
Custom capacities can be accommodated upon special request, allowing flexibility in meeting specific production needs.
2. Heating Methods
Electrical Specification: Furnaces with electric heating are equipped with replaceable heating elements accessible from the outside, facilitating maintenance and repairs.
Gas Specification: Furnaces with gas heating utilize alloy radiating tubes and a gas combustion system, providing an alternative heating method.
3. Furnace Muffle and Atmosphere Mixers
The furnace muffle is supported along the entire length by special ceramic supports, ensuring a long service life confirmed by numerical calculations.
Atmosphere mixers are designed to ensure excellent temperature and atmosphere distribution, enhancing the uniformity of the heat treatment process.
4. Belt Drive and Automation
The belt drive system allows for full synchronization of the belt speed, which can be adjusted within a wide range, ensuring flexibility in treatment cycle times.
The entire technological line operation is fully automated and monitored, with only the loading and unloading of parts requiring manual intervention.
5. Suitable Processes
Mesh belt furnaces are ideal for a variety of heat treatment processes including neutral quenching, martensitic austempering, austenitic austempering, shallow carburizing, carbonitriding, recarburization, normalizing, and tempering.
These processes often involve multiple steps, such as heating the product to austenitizing temperature in a controlled atmosphere and then quenching it to induce phase changes.
Applications
Mesh belt furnaces are used to process a wide array of small parts, including screws, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners.
They are particularly well-suited for controlled atmosphere hardening, carbonitriding, and carburizing in the temperature range from 840°C to 955°C.
In summary, a belt type furnace, specifically a mesh belt furnace, is a highly efficient and versatile piece of equipment designed for high-volume heat treatment processes.
Its design allows for flexibility in capacity, multiple heating methods, and automation, making it an excellent choice for manufacturers in various industries.
