Vacuum formed ceramic fiber modules with low heat storage provide fast heat up rates. The pit furnace also features a thermocartridge recirculating fan and solid wall baffle for uniform atmosphere and heat distribution.

Unique features of this Lindberg/MPH steam atmosphere pit furnace include:

• Vacuum formed ceramic fiber modules with low heat storage for fast heat up rates

• Atmosphere tight retort

• Heater coils designed with low surface watt density for extended service life

• Thermocartridge fan for increased heat and atmosphere recirculation

• Steam piping control

• Supplied optional steam generator
