Fixed Hearth Furnace by Smelter Engineering
In the production of atmosphere heat treatment solutions, SMELTER uses extended experience and state-of-heart technology to simplify installations, reduce investment costs, and reduce process of utilities consumption. Technical solutions of SMELTER furnaces allow our partners to meet the strictest technical requirements and modern technologies, that give them competitive advantage in the industry.
The furnace is generally used for the Low production and Medium Production. Smelter’s chamber furnace can operate up to 1600°C. These furnaces are usually rugged, refractory based construction or lightweight ceramic fiberboard and insulation based in construction.
Electric heating elements, gas, or oil firing are the available firing options for chamber furnaces. Insulation is used in chamber furnaces to minimize heat loss and accelerate heating. Temperature controllers are a feature of furnaces that help to manage and maintain the ideal temperature inside the chamber.
Electrical Heating components used in chamber furnaces to produce heat usually consist of resistance coils manufactured of nichrome or kanthal. Depending on the temperature and procedure, heating elements can be ferrous-alumel-chromel alloys, nichrome, silicon carbide, or molybdenum Di silicide. They can also be single or bundled wires, rods, coiled coils, or strips. These furnaces can be used for hardening, annealing, normalizing, sintering, tempering, stress relieving, pre-heating etc.
The entire range, size and temperature can be determined by your individual need and requirement. Top opening and multi-chamber furnaces are also made to order.
In order to guarantee consistent results for all samples or parts processed inside, chamber furnaces are intended to offer uniform heating across the chamber. For applications involving a precise temperature distribution, this capability is significant.

FAQs
What is a Batch Furnace?
A Batch or a chamber furnace is used in numerous production and laboratory applications for thermal processing. The heat treatment is essentially executed in batch process, where the material is loaded to a basket or directly in the furnace and then heat treated. Unlike continuous furnace, the material with lesser to medium volume and custom size equipment are loaded in Chamber Furnaces.
