Extending the campaign life of a furnace — that is, the period between required interior and refractory refurbishments — depends upon a consistent temperature and thermal profile. 

Intended for use in a heat-treating application, each multi-unit, modular pot furnace is connected to a single freestanding NEMA 1 control panel. 

Designed for laboratory testing applications, the rotary furnace provides temperatures up to 2192°F (1200°C). 

Model TL7-481818 heats to 2300°F (1260°C). Heavy-gauge, coil-wound, low watt density heating elements in six removable holders are controlled as three separate zones to provide uniform heating.

Globally, across nearly every industry, OEMs and end users are looking for ways to improve their heat-treat equipment and processes. In addition, they are facing increasingly stringent NO_X emissions regulations while focusing on delivering the process and product quality their customers expect.

Pit furnace is designed with a maximum operating temperature of 1750°F (954°C) and gross workload of 1600 lb. Temperature uniformity of ± 25°F at 1650°F (899°C) was documented with a nine-point profile test. 

Process heating equipment OEMs that build furnaces, ovens, dryers, kilns and boilers heated by gas burners face challenges related to the development of combustion control panels.

Reheat furnaces are responsible for bringing cold metal to the correct temperature for hot-forming applications such as rolling, extruding or forging. To optimize quality and reduce wastage, the temperature needs to be consistent throughout the product, which requires accurate temperature monitoring. 

The process-efficiency benefits of utilizing heat from one part of an industrial process in another are well understood. Heat reuse — sometimes referred to as regeneration — is widespread across a range of processes: pasteurization and sterilization, evaporation, drying, distillation, pressurization, cooking, space and media heating, and reactor heating, to name a few. In fact, the list of applications is as varied as the industries themselves.

Two standard variations of ceramic insulation for box furnaces are rigid ceramic fiber boards and flexible blankets. They are manufactured using strands of refractory silicate compressed or woven into a lightweight textile, with excellent inherent strength and low thermal conductivity.
