C.I. Hayes, a Gasbarre Furnace Group company, is pleased to announce the recent installation
of multiple “Solitaire” Conveyor Belt Furnaces for annealing of precious metals to be used in the
jewelry industry. In total, this project consisted of three identical conveyor belt furnaces, all manufactured and installed for the same customer. Named for its compact design and initially developed for brazing and bright annealing of jewelry pieces, the C.I. Hayes “Solitaire” Conveyor Belt Furnace has found great acceptance in other markets requiring brazing and bright annealing of small, intricate parts.
C.I. Hayes continues to enhance the proven design of its “Solitaire” Furnace Line improving the overall lifetime value. Its robust and simple design allows for ease of manufacture, installation and maintenance, ensuring success for those processes that are driven by both technical and commercial demands. The “Solitaire” Conveyor Belt Furnace is equipped with belt widths of 6-12 inches and effective heat lengths of 27-72 inches. Four-sided heat surrounding the muffle provides excellent uniformity and power input with temperature capabilities to 2100°F (1148°C). The furnace remains compact and may be shipped as a single piece, fully assembled, with single point connections for power, water and atmosphere.
