Roller hearth furnaces designed by SECO/WARWICK
SECO/WARWICK roller hearth furnaces are designed to heat treat a wide variety of products economically with uniform, repeatable results. There’s a wide range of sizes of electric or fuel-fired heating systems with matched cooling sections and material handling systems. Coupled with protective atmosphere to keep product clean or to assist in surface treatments, the roller hearth furnace is a powerful tool for today’s manufacturing environment.
Typical Applications for Continuous Systems
- Annealing
- Hardening
- Preheat
- Normalizing
- Stress Relieving
Benefits of Continuous Operation
- Batch systems require constant heating and cooling. This wastes energy and stresses materials
- Batch material handling is difficult to automate
- Energy recuperation is easier and less costly with continuous systems
- Continuous takes up about half of the floor space than multiple batch units
- Longer equipment life – typically 40+ years
Designed to Meet Your Needs
- Temperature ranges from 4000F – 22500F (2000C – 1,2000C)
- Suitable for atmospheres from air or products of combustion to exothermic (EXOGAS™), Endothermic (ENDOGAS™), Nitrogen/Hydrogen or Ammonia (AMMOGAS™) or steam
- Throughputs are unlimited but typically from 500 pounds (225 kg) to 15,000 pounds (6,800 kg) per hour
