Drop Bottom Quench Furnace

Drop Bottom Quench Furnace by Therelek

What is Drop Bottom Quench Furnace?

The Drop Bottom Furnace is the inverted type with charge lifting and lowering facility to accommodate the high-speed quenching including de-clamping, door opening and quenching.

The Drop Bottom Furnace can be a standalone type with charge carrier loader and quenching tank moving on the floor or floor mounted with charge carrier loader and quench tanks sliding in a pit.

As the requirement is very fast quenching, it is fully automated by the use of PLC and SCADA. These furnaces can also be used for continuous ageing cycle ranging from 16 – 24 hrs time.

FAQs about Drop Bottom Quench Furnace & Process

Solution heat treatment or Solution annealing is carried out for metals like Stainless steel, aluminium, copper, titanium and other nickel based alloys. It is required to dissolve any precipitates present in the material and transform to solution annealing temperature into a single phase structure.
