Dual chamber heat treat furnaces are crucial in various industries where precise temperature control and specific atmospheric conditions are required for heat treatment processes.
The furnace is made specifically for heat treating tool steels. The upper chamber handles hardening and the lower one is for aging, drawing and tempering. The unit manages optimal temperatures in both chambers. The equipment emphasizes worker safety, including the way doors are designed and opened. Additionally, an alarm sounds and elements are turned off if a fan isn’t working as it should in the lower chamber.
Made with thick steel shell, the equipment features quality materials and design standards, including the insulation for interior walls and hearths with elevated piers. The door construction ensures that they will be securely closed. Safety switches are in place to shut off the element power whenever someone opens the furnace. Each chamber has a digital controller with automatic tuning. Furnace instruments have thermocouples, which are inter-wired and ready to use.
Instead of having multiple single-chamber furnaces for different heat treatment processes, a dual chamber furnace can fulfill the same functions in a smaller footprint, saving valuable floor space in manufacturing facilities.
