PK hardening chamber furnace up to 1280 °C

A sturdy furnace for hardening and more, even available in a semigastight version

We design our hardening chamber furnaces as very durable facilities for hardening, annealing, or preheating metal charges before forging under an oxidizing atmosphere. The heating elements are covered with SiC plates with strong mechanical durability, which protect them from damage. Heating from three sides, meanwhile, is a guarantee of even heat distribution within the operating area.

At your request, we also manufacture these furnaces in a semi-gastight version with a working tub, so that you can also use them for heat treatment of a charge under a partially protective atmosphere. Do not expect, however, for this furnace to be on par with a gastight furnace after these adjustments. This is truly only partial protection of the charge.

This furnace is available in our e-shop

Optimisation of the temperature field to meet the DIN 17052-1 C10-B13 ∆T 20 °C in the internal space (in an empty furnace; measured in the range from 900 °C to 1100 °C a grommet for termocouples is required)
Measurement protocol for temperature uniformity (a grommet is needed for the TUS test)
Tree-channel digital temperature recorder
Measuring loop calibration
EIA-485 or LAN interface
HtMonit EV set (contains software + interface)
