This state-of-the-art furnace package includes not just the hardening and tempering units, but also a automated loading/unloading rail-bound charging machine, a quenching tank, with PLC and SCADA system , making it a complete end-to-end heat treatment solution.
Scope of Supply
The complete system supplied consists of:
- Electrically Heated Hardening Furnace
- Electrically Heated Tempering Furnace
- Rail-Bound Charging Machine
- Quenching Tank
- Charge Loading and Unloading Station
This integrated system ensures a smooth, reliable, and efficient workflow for hardening, tempering, and quenching operations of alloy steel components.
Hardening Furnace
The Grooved Hearth Electrically Heated Hardening Furnace is designed for precision heat treatment with the following features:
- Maximum Operating Temperature: 1100°C
- Temperature Uniformity: ±5°C
- Rugged furnace construction for long life and reliability
- Uniform heat distribution with efficient energy utilization
This furnace enables alloy steel components to achieve the required hardness while maintaining structural integrity.
Tempering Furnace
The Hot Air Re-Circulating Tempering Furnace is engineered to refine the mechanical properties of hardened components.
- Temperature Uniformity: ±3°C
- Ensures controlled reheating and cooling
- Enhances ductility and reduces brittleness of alloy steels
By integrating hardening and tempering in a single workflow, manufacturers achieve high-quality, stress-free, and durable components.
Charging Machine
- A rail-bound charging machine was supplied to automate the loading and unloading process by PLC and SCADA system..
- Designed for heavy-duty foundry operation
- Quenching delay speed: achieved within 45 seconds, ensuring optimum hardness quality
- Built from rolled steel sections, welded and braced for rigidity
- Fork travel chains aligned and supported for long-lasting, smooth operation
This high-performance charging system ensures efficiency, safety, and reduced human intervention in handling heavy loads.
Quenching System
- The pit-type water quench tank is designed with:
- Centrifugal agitators system
- Discharge manifold for controlled water flow
This ensures rapid cooling of alloy steel components, enhancing the hardness and microstructure uniformity.
