Wisconsin Oven shipped one electrically heated drop bottom furnace with traveling quench tank and maintenance platform. This system will be used for the solution heat treatment of aluminum parts for the aerospace industry.
The drop bottom furnace has a maximum operating temperature of 1,100°F and workspace dimensions of 3’6” W x 3’6” L x 4’0” H. An OSHA-compliant maintenance platform provides ease of access for personnel to service the equipment. The quench tank capacity is approximately 1,700 gallons and includes fluid level control (low, fill, high), a lockable water drain port at the bottom of the tank, and an agitator for water circulation. The traveling quench tank is enclosed with safety fencing for added safety during operation.
This drop bottom furnace is designed with sufficient capacity to heat 600 pounds of aluminum per load and provide a quench delay that does not exceed five seconds. The system also includes a slow drop speed program to be used for heating applications that do not require a quench.
“This drop bottom furnace was designed with a five-second quench delay, and a temperature uniformity of +/- 5°F at the set points 850°F and 1,100°F,” said Mike Grande, vice president of sales. “In addition, the system was tested to be in compliance with AMS 2750F, Class 1 furnaces and Instrumentation Type C prior to shipment from our manufacturing facility.”
Unique features of this drop bottom furnace include:
- Traveling quench tank five second quench from start of door opening until full submersion.
- Documented temperature uniformity of ±5°F at 850°F and 1,100°F.
- Compliance with AMS 2750F, Class 1 furnaces and Instrumentation Type C requirements.
- Bi-parting pneumatically operated doors.
- 10,000 CFM @ 10 HP plug-mounted recirculation blower.
- 12” HMI screen mounted to a pivoting swing arm (to allow operators better line of sight of automated functionality).
- Digital Eurotherm temperature controller with fast acting advanced auto-tune.
- Installation supervision for 10 days at the jobsite.
