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 annealing, artificial ageing, annealing or soft annealing, for which a high degree of 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
- Furnace chamber fitted with inner sheets made of stainless steel 1.4301 for 600 °C models and of 1.4828 for 850 °C models
- Insulation structured with high-quality mineral wool for 600 °C models
- 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 furnace and load
- 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.
- Defined application within the constraints of the operating instructions
- Controller with touch operation B500 (5 programs with 4 segments each)
- NTLog Basic for Nabertherm controller: recording of process data with USB-flash drive
- Freeware NTEdit for convenient program input via ExcelTM for WindowsTM on the PC
- Freeware NTGraph for evaluation and documention of firings using ExcelTM for WindowsTM on the PC
- MyNabertherm App for online monitoring of the firing on mobile devices for free download
Additional equipment
- Direct gas heating or upon request with indirect gas heating with radiation tube
- Electric chain-driven bogie in combination with rail operation for smooth movement of heavy loads up to Model W 4000
- Optimization of the temperature uniformity up +/− 3 °C according to DIN 17052-1 see page 94
- Different possibilities for an extension to a bogie hearth furnace plant:
- Additional bogies
- Bogie transfer system with parking rails to exchange bogies running on rails or to connect multiples furnaces
- Motor-driven bogies and cross-traversal system
- Fully automatic control of the bogie exchange
- Electro-hydraulic lift door
- Motorized fresh-air and exhaust air flaps, adjustable via the program
- Cooling systems for faster rapid cooling
- Bar supports with grids for higher charge weights and/or better load distribution with point leads
- Process control and documentation via VCD software package for monitoring, documentation and control
