Pyradia has developed the most advanced line of Drop Bottom Quench Furnaces for aluminum solution heat treating. These ovens incorporate state of the art insulation, control system and hoist mechanism which make them the most performing and reliable on the market.
Rugged construction
Pyradia's Drop Bottom Quench Furnaces are designed for an intensive and continuous
use up to 1 200oF (650oC) . The loading and quenching systems are fully
automated by PLC. The dual speed electro-mechanical winch system permits
a controlled acceleration/deceleration of the load descent and has proven
to be much more reliable and sturdy that the commonly used pneumatic systems.
Superior insulation
The insulation consists of 6" of ceramic fiber modules. This high efficiency
materiel assures minimum heat loss and heat storage for rapid heat cycling
and energy economy. Contrary to layered blanket arrangement, ceramic blocks
have a great resistance to high air velocity abrasion. This configuration
is extra durable and requires very little if no maintenance.
Best temperature uniformity of any Quench Furnace on the market
In the electric models, the lo-density tubular heating elements are evenly distributed in the air ducts
all around the working zone. In the gas models, the heating system is designed with indirect fired burners complete with heat recuperation assuring an average energy efficiency greater than 70%. The high efficiency fans located in the top
plenum procure a powerful vertical airflow, which passes evenly through
the working area. As a result, the temperature uniformity throughout the
working area is within ± 9oF (5oC) (or ± 5oF/3oC when
required), at any given temperature, even during ramp-up. With these exceptional
performances, our Drop Bottom Quench Furnace will meet the tighter specifications
of the future. They can also be used for aluminum aging at lower temperatures.
This state of the art
Drop-Bottom Furnace is class II AMS2750D certified for a 9.5ftWx11.5ftLx7ftH working zone and a 2000lbs load capacity.
The installation includes two quench tanks with different adjustable Glycol concentrations, one water rinse/quench tank and a Glycol Management System. The mobile tank carrier is electronically driven with a multi-motor direct drive system which requires no chains or sprockets, thus resulting in a super smooth displacement and automatic positioning with virtually no maintenance. The heating system is designed with indirect fired burners complete with heat recuperation assuring an average energy efficiency greater than 70%. The electro-mechanical hoist system guarantees a precise and automatic quench cycle, adjustable from 6 to 15 seconds.
