Forced Convection Bogie Hearth Furnaces
They are ideal for processes such as solution like glass tempering or cooling from glass, for which a good temperature uniformity is crucial.
Function and equipment
The forced convection bogie hearth furnaces W 1000/60A - W 8300/85A are used when heavy charges weighing have to be heat-treated. They are ideal for processes such as solution like glass tempering or cooling from glass, for which a good temperature uniformity is crucial. The high-performance air circulation assures that the temperature uniformity achieved throughout the work space is outstanding. A broad selection of additional equipment enables these bogie hearth furnaces to be optimally adapted to suit specific processes.
- Tmax 600 °C or 850 °C
- Dual shell housing with rear ventilation provides for low shell temperatures for the 850 °C models
- Swing door hinged on the right side
- Heating from chrome steel heating elements for the 600 °C models
- Heating from three sides (both side walls and the trolley) for the 850 °C models. Bottom heating protected by SiC tiles.
- Perforated sheet support or charging grid on the bogie for even load distribution
- High-performance air circulation fan with vertical circulation
- Temperature uniformity up to +/- 5 °C according to DIN 17052-1
- Bottom heating protected by SiC tiles on the bogie providing level stacking surface for the 850 °C models
- Insulation structured with high-quality mineral wool for 600 °C models
- Exclusive use of insulation materials without categorization according to EC Regulation No 1272/2008 (CLP). This explicitly means that alumino silicate wool, also known as “refractory ceramic fiber” (RCF), which is classified and possibly carcinogenic, is not used.
- Bogies with flanged wheels running on rails for easy and precise movement of heavy loads
- Electric chain-driven bogie in combination with rail operation for smooth movement of heavy loads from model W 4800
- Over-temperature limiter with adjustable cutout temperature as temperature limiter to protect the oven and load
- Defined application within the constraints of the operating instructions
- NTLog Basic for Nabertherm controller: recording of process data with USB-flash drive
- Controller with touch operation B500 (5 programs with 4 segments each)
