Ideal for large charges loaded using a crane
The shaft furnace is used above all for heat treatment of large and heavy charges that are loaded in the furnace by a crane. The furnace is provided with forced air circulation which allows quicker charge heating through and better distribution of thermal field.
Benefits
- The heating placed along the walls ensures an even temperature distribution in the chamber’s internal operational space
- Forced air circulation
- A refractory steel grate is located at the bottom of the furnace; it is used for loading the charge, and meanwhile enables air circulation within the furnace
