Two electrically heated horizontal quench systems have been shipped to a supplier for the semiconductor industry. The systems will be used for the annealing and rapid cooling of various high purity alloy parts.
The operating procedure for each horizontal quench system from Wisconsin Oven includes loading the product on a work grid located on the loading platform. Once the load is lifted into place, a pusher/extractor mechanism located at the front of the quench tank moves the load onto the quench lift platform, then the furnace pusher/extractor mechanism pulls the load into the furnace for annealing.
After completing the heating cycle, the vertical lift door opens, the furnace pusher/extractor transfers the load onto the quench lift platform, and the load is lowered into the water quench tank. After the load has sufficiently cooled, the quench lift is raised, and the front mounted pusher/extractor mechanism pulls the load back onto the scissor lift. While the load is pulled onto the scissor lift, a blow off system removes the majority of the water from the load.
See below to watch a video of this system in operation.
