A batch sintering furnace will be installed at Mueller Brass Co., a major supplier of brass rod and forgings in the United States. The 60" wide x 90" deep x 30" tall atmosphere box sintering furnace includes an accelerated gas cooling system to improve floor-to-floor cycle time and meet their demanding production needs.
This Gasbarre Thermal Processing Systems box furnace is designed with a maximum operating temperature of 1650°F, a capacity of 14,000 lbs., and utilizes a nitrogen atmosphere. The system incorporates an Allen-Bradley PLC with SSi 9130 control and 12.1" HMI display. Additionally, the indirect fired gas heating system incorporates parallel positioning control for efficiency and process flexibility, and an integrated oxygen analyzer gives Muller Brass Co. the proper furnace environment prior to heating.
