For processes such as normalizing, ageing, curing, or preheating that include a heat treatment of heavy charges, we recommend our low-temperature bogie hearth furnaces. These furnaces are available for maximum working temperatures of 260 °C or 450 °C. They can be heated either electrically or with gas.

  • Maximum temperatures of 260 °C or 450 °C
  • Bogie on rails for weights up to 50 tons
  • Swing door hinged on the right
  • Heated electrically (W) or with gas (WB)
  • Electrical heating of the furnace by means of heater coils
  • Direct gas heating or upon request with indirect gas heating with radiation tube, e.g. for heat treatment of aluminum
  • Optimum temperature uniformity (according to DIN 17052-1) up to ΔT 6 K
  • Powerful fan with vertical air circulation
  • Optimal air circulation with help of adjustable air outlets tailored to charge requirement
  • Air inlet and exhaust air vent, manually adjustable
  • High circulation rate for fast and steady heat transfer
  • Furnace chamber lined with alloy 314 (AISI)/(DIN material no. 1.4841) stainless steel on 450 °C models
  • Over-temperature limit controller with adjustable cutout temperature for thermal protection class in accordance with EN 60518-2 as temperature limiter to protect the oven and load

Additional Equipment

  • Electro-hydraulic vertical lift-door
  • Horizontal air circulation for optimal temperature control throughout the useful height
  • Electrical bogie drive
  • Second door in combination with second bogie for optimal charging and faster process turnaround
  • Automatic bogie movement systems
  • Cooling fan for shorter process times
  • Automatic control of exhaust air vents for optimal cooling of the furnace chamber
  • Recuperator systems for exhaust heat recovery available on gas-heated models
  • Optimum temperature uniformity (according to DIN 17052-1) up to ΔT 6 K on models with multiple zones of control
  • Support structure made from heat-resisting cast alloy steel for high charge weights
  • Heat resistant boxes for protective gas or carburizing processes
  • Process and charge documentation via Controltherm software or PLC-based control system
  • Custom dimensions up to 30,000 liters
  • Fixed furnace hearth and movable furnace (envelope concept) for precise loading of heavy charges up to 100 tons
