The Future of Sustainable Heat Treating
|
Multi-chamber designs offer significant advantages over traditional batch furnaces. Dedicated heating and cooling eliminates nozzle penetrations, reducing energy consumption and improving quench performance. Maintaining temperature between cycles reduces cycle time, improves vacuum performance, eliminates thermal storage losses, and reduces thermal cycle wear. Continuous systems offer dramatic increases in throughput making the advantages of vacuum accessible to existing processes. As demand for efficiency intensifies, these systems offer solutions. It’s time to invest in tomorrow’s technology, today.
