Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details specifications and options for industrial furnaces used in processes like hardening, tempering, annealing, and quenching. It includes technical data for various furnace models, highlighting their capabilities and features.
Bench Type and Chamber Furnaces: Bench type furnaces (KM 10/13 – KM 30/13) and chamber furnaces (KM 50/13 – KM 90/13) have a maximum temperature of 1300°C. They feature double-lined housing for low outer casing temperature, stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance, and multilayer insulation for energy efficiency. Technical data such as dimensions, power, and weight are provided for each model.
Chamber Furnaces (KM 105/13 – KM 1400/13): These furnaces reach a maximum temperature of 1280°C and are designed with rugged construction steel housing. Options include hydraulic lift doors, cooling fans, and inert gas connections. Technical specifications for each model, including volume and power requirements, are listed.
Air-Circulation Chamber Furnaces: With maximum temperatures of 450°C, 650°C, and 850°C, these furnaces are used for annealing and tempering. They feature high-grade steel construction, excellent temperature uniformity, and low energy consumption. Options include automatic exhaust flap control and inert gas operation.
Air-Circulation Pit-type and Warmbath Furnaces: Pit-type furnaces offer vertical air circulation and are charged from the top. Warmbath furnaces are used for tempering and martempering, featuring reusable salt baths for heat transfer. Technical data for models are provided, including dimensions and power.
Process Control and Documentation: Control technologies like microprocessor controllers and Siemens S7 systems are outlined for precise regulation and documentation of processes. Software for managing and visualizing processes is available.
Compact Hardening Systems (HS 1 and HS 2): The HS 1 system is designed for small to medium-sized workpieces and includes integrated quenching tanks and heating elements. The HS 2 system is modular, allowing for various heat treatment processes and can be expanded with additional components.
Specifications and Features: Maximum working temperature of 1280°C, rugged case construction for durability.
Equipment Overview:
  • CW41 Charging Wagon: Facilitates safe loading/unloading of furnaces for workpieces up to 150 kg, with optional fan for forced air cooling.
  • WO 200 Combi-Bath: Combines oil and water tanks for quenching, with separate heating systems for optimal temperatures.
  • Cleaning Baths: Double-lined housing with stainless steel tank, suitable for fast cleaning at approx. 70°C.
  • Air-Circulation Furnaces: Suitable for tempering and annealing, offering excellent temperature uniformity up to 850°C.
