Chamber Furnaces

Mul­ti-pur­po­se cham­ber fur­naces MK and MKS

Innovative flexibility up to 1,050 °C

The advantage of these multi-purpose systems with highly flexible operation is that batches can be lowered into different quenching media. The perfusion of the batch is supported by a variety of systems – sprinklers, flow breakers, baffles and oscillators. All protective gassing variants, such as direct gassing, nitrogen/methanol or endogas, are monitored and controlled by means of atmosphere sensors in various designs and measuring systems. The MK and MSK chamber furnaces feature a robust design and are guaranteed to operate in tried-and-tested fashion for a long time.

Calculating sensors, gas analyzers and hydrogen sensors are used in addition to oxygen sensors. All gases can be controlled by means of mass flow controllers. Special gassing technology distributes the gases evenly across the entire treatment space.

Mul­ti-pur­po­se cham­ber fur­naces MKS

Patent with salt

MKS multi-purpose chamber furnaces are an unusual member of the MK family. The additional “S” stands for salt. With this multi-purpose chamber furnace design, which we have patented, the batch is quenched in salt; other quenching options are possible as well. The unusual thing about this furnace system is its airlock principle. The batch is loaded and unloaded via an airlock chamber. The treatment chamber and the quenching chamber are separated by this airlock chamber. The batch is moved under the exclusion of air through the optionally heatable airlock chamber.

MK furnace systems enable the exact reproducibility of heat treatment results. They can be combined with WMT immersion-spray washing machines, KA and KAR chamber tempering furnaces and CW batch trolleys to create semi-automatic or fully automatic lines.

Cham­ber tem­pe­ring fur­naces KA and KAR

Simply efficient

KA type tempering furnaces are an ideal addition to the MK and MKS multi-purpose chamber furnace systems. Chamber tempering furnaces can be operated with various protective gases. Next to the simple KA furnace version, KAR type retort chamber tempering furnaces are used. The suffix “R” means “with retort”.
