Kentucky Machine & Engineering, a machine repair business in Cadiz, Kentucky, upgrades their old gas fired furnace with a dual chamber furnace-over-oven unit. They will use the furnace to shorten their lead times on parts fabricated for their customers.

Both chambers of the Lucifer Furnaces Red Devil Dual Chamber furnace-over-oven are 12”H x 14″W x 24″L; the upper chamber is programmed to heat to 2200°F while the lower oven reaches 1200°F. Dual Chamber furnaces allow a user to harden in the upper chamber then temper/draw in the lower convection oven. Both chambers are lined with 4.5″ multilayer lightweight firebrick insulation and mineral wool backup precision dry-fit to allow for thermal expansion while minimizing heat loss. Easy to replace heating elements simplify maintenance.
“By not having to outsource this piece of the process,” said Amy Kuberski, CFO at Kentucky Machine & Engineering, “the increased size capability and the addition of the draw oven feature saves us a lot of extra time without having to be at the mercy of someone else’s schedule.” She added, “We were so pleased with the ease of installation to first use! Furnace was ready to go.”
