Drop Bottom Oven

Larger image

The Lindberg quick quench drop bottom furnace is electrically heated and designed for installation above the floor level. The system’s quench tank is mounted on a transfer car that runs on rails. Load positioning and unloading is accomplished using a work table mounted on the same transfer car. Loads are raised and lowered by a hoist system. The system can be designed to automatically engage and disengage the work carrier from “hoist hooks” and these operations are electrically interlocked to alert the operator of any abnormal load conditions. Loading operations must be operator confirmed. Temperature range to 1200°F.
