Roller continuous furnace with electric heating. The load is composed of tulip elements which are moved inside the furnace on designated pallets. Load pallets are returned to the furnace entrance on a fly-roller lane situated below the furnace. Two elevators lift the pallets at the line extremities connecting the furnace to the return line. The furnace is composed of three different sections: heating, soaking and controlled forced cooling. High speed air circulation, optimized by CFD, assures high temperature uniformity.
