Roller Hearth Furnaces for Continuous Heat Treating
.webp)
Roller hearth furnaces are industrial heating units that use a series of rollers to continuously convey products through a heating chamber. They are commonly used for heat treating processes such as annealing, normalizing, hardening, and tempering. In a roller hearth furnace, the products to be heat treated are placed on a conveyor belt or other type of carrier that is supported by a series of rollers. The carrier and the products are then conveyed through the heating chamber, where they are subjected to the desired temperature and atmosphere conditions. One of the main advantages of roller hearth furnaces is their ability to continuously process large quantities of products. This makes them ideal for use in mass production operations, where consistent and efficient heat treatment is required. They are also relatively easy to operate and maintain, and can be designed to accommodate a wide range of product sizes and shapes. However, roller hearth furnaces can be expensive to purchase an...
