Drop-Bottom Furnace
The drop-bottom furnace is a type of industrial furnace that is commonly used in heat treatment processes such as solution treatment of aluminium alloys, tempering, and aging. It is designed with a bottom drop door, which allows for easy loading and unloading of heavy parts, reducing the risk of injury and increasing efficiency.
The furnace is typically made of heavy-duty materials such as steel, and is equipped with high-temperature insulation to maintain the required operating temperatures. The door is operated using hydraulic or pneumatic systems, which allow for precise control of the opening and closing speed.
Function
The chamber is a climatic chamber specifically designed to perform carbonation tests on concrete samples.
Configuration
The Drop-Bottom Furnace is a vertical furnace with a bottom drop door for loading and unloading of parts. It can be customised with various options such as programmable controllers, multiple zones, and data logging capabilities.
Features
The Drop-Bottom Furnace is designed with safety features such as over-temperature protection, safety interlocks, and a door safety switch. It also features a digital temperature controller for precise temperature control, and a high-limit backup controller for added safety.
Temperature Range
