The proposed Rotary-hearth technology for solution and artificial ageing processes is operating successfully in most of automotive engine manufacturing plants.
Main system advantages of this installation:
Important energy-cost saving during the service life of installation, due to the following features:
- Saving of energy consunption due to the fact that any kind of pieces handling elements (i.e. load baskets, trays, etc) are not used, and consequently it is not needed to heat them up in each cycle.
- Additional saving of energy consumption due to the fact that any kind of pieces convering systems (i.e. rollers, belts, chains etc) are not used, and consequently loss of energy will be highly reduced.
Elimination of needed pieces handling elements (i.e. load baskets, trays, etc) capital cost and maintenance cost of future repairs.
Reduction of necesary floor space on site.
Optimal process temperature uniformy inside furnace heating chamber.
Elimination of cost related to civil works for foundations of installation.
Lower size of water quenching tank and improved temperature distribution in bath, and consequently optimal part-to-part properties.
Modular and flexible Plant layout.
Advanced technology to reduce cycle times.
