A Midwest manufacturer of brass components is upgrading their heat treat capabilities with a new furnace. The 24″ wide, 3 zone mesh belt annealing furnace will provide improved energy efficiency, reduced atmosphere consumption, and consistent and reliable part quality, as compared to an older design.
The brass annealing furnace from Gasbarre Thermal Processing Systems is designed with a maximum operating temperature of 1650℉ with a capacity of 800 lbs/hr, and utilizes a blend of nitrogen and hydrogen atmospheres. The system incorporates an Allen-Bradley PLC and HMI with automated atmosphere and water temperature control and datalogging.
