Chamber furnace SBCF series

sinteringheat treatmentelectric

Overview
The SBCF large chamber furnace is designed for industrial heat treatment applications such as heat treatment of steels and alloys, ceramic sintering and aerospace processes. It is a modular, cubic-chamber furnace available in three sizes with either a fixed hearth or an optional bogie hearth for track extraction. The hearth can also be adapted to a vertical lift (elevator hearth) arrangement where the door becomes a fixed side of the chamber.

Standard features

• 1100 °C maximum operating temperature
• 3-zone control fitted with 1 x EPC3008P1 programmable controller and 2 x EPC3016 slave units with setpoint retransmission
• Over-temperature protection
• Furnace can meet the requirements of AMS2750F when specified
• Under-hearth heating plus free-radiating coiled wire elements on four sides
• Excellent temperature uniformity and control
• Robust construction ensures safe outer case temperature
