Pilot Production Furnace
A Pilot Production Furnace is a specialised type of industrial furnace that is designed to meet the needs of small to medium-sized part or component production. This type of furnace is often used in research and development settings, as well as in small-scale production runs, to test out new materials, processes, and designs.
Pilot production furnaces are often used by manufacturers to produce small quantities of parts or components before scaling up to full-scale production. They can be used for a variety of applications, including heat treating, annealing, brazing, and sintering, among others.
Function
It provides controlled heating and cooling cycles to achieve desired material properties.
Configuration
Pilot Production Furnaces can be configured in a variety of ways, including vertical or horizontal loading, as well as batch or continuous processing.
Features
Some common features of Pilot Production Furnaces include programmable temperature controls, automated loading and unloading systems, and integrated cooling systems.
Temperature Range
The temperature range for a Pilot Production Furnace ranges from 100°C to 1400°C or as per the requirement.
Heating Rate
The heating rate of the furnace is adjustable, with options for ramp and soak programming.
Capacity
Pilot Production Furnaces have a smaller capacity than other industrial furnaces.
Heat Source
The heating sources are electric-fired or gas-fired burners.
Power Requirement
The power requirements for the furnace depend on the required technical parameters.
Atmosphere
Pilot Production Furnaces can be operated under a variety of atmospheric conditions, including air, nitrogen, hydrogen, and vacuum.
