Pit Furnace Companion Quench Tank
The Pit Furnace Companion Quench Tank is an essential component in the heat treatment process of metals and other materials. It is designed to work alongside pit-style furnaces, providing a safe and efficient way to cool down the materials after heat treatment.
The quench tank is typically filled with a cooling medium such as water, oil, or polymer, depending on the requirements of the materials being treated. The materials are placed inside the pit furnace and heated to the desired temperature. After heating, the materials are quickly transferred to the quench tank, where they are rapidly cooled down to prevent distortion or cracking.
Function
Pit-type furnace-heated items are quenched in the quench tank. It rapidly cools items for metallurgical characteristics.
Configuration
A transfer mechanism takes parts from the pit-style furnace to the quench tank, which is usually adjacent to it.
Features
The quench tank features a recirculating pump, which ensures uniform quenching of the parts, and a filtration system to remove any contaminants from the quenching medium.
Power Requirement
The quench tank only powers the recirculating pump and other auxiliary systems, so its power needs are low. Model and application determine power needs.
Heating Rate
The quench tank does not have its own heating rate; it relies on the pit-style furnace for heating.
Capacity
Pit Furnace Companion Quench Tank is available in various sizes, capacities or as per the requirement.
