Drop Bottom Quench Solutionizing Furnace

Kalyani enterprises developed Drop Bottom Furnace is the inverted type with charge lifting and lowering facility to accommodate the high-speed quenching including de-clamping, door opening and quenching. The Drop Bottom Furnace can be a standalone type with charge carrier loader and quenching tank moving on the floor or floor mounted with charge carrier loader and quench tanks sliding in a pit. As the requirement is very fast quenching, it is fully automated by the use of PLC and SCADA. These furnaces can also be used for continuous ageing cycle ranging from 16 – 24 hrs time. Drop-bottom quench furnaces are used for the solution heat treatment of aluminium alloys. They are designed to operate with tight uniformities from 150°C to 650°C for maximum flexibility to allow for aging and annealing. The drop-bottom furnace stands on a base so that a quench tank can be positioned directly below the furnace. Because of the broad working temperature range, drop-bottom furnace plants allow complete T6 heat treatments, consisting of solution annealing, quenching, and artificial aging in just one furnace.
