Industrial Bogie Hearth Furnace 1200°C
Overview
Car bottom furnace PB L2288/12E ia an automatic electrical lifting upward also called bogie hearth furnace or shuttle kiln, this kind of furnaces are mainly used where high temperatures and large specific loading weights are required, and can be primarily found in the area of heating steel slabs and blocks as well as in the ceramics and heat-resistant industry (temperatures between 600° C and 1150° C). The furnace was designed with two independent heating zones, controls separately, heating wires can be replaced easily, furnace chamber temperature uniformity is even.
Main Features
- Tmax 1200 °C
- Automatic lifting upward door driven with hydraulic working station
- Automatic sliding bottom
- Two indepent heating zones control for optimal temperature uniformity in the working space
- Self-supporting and long-life ceiling construction with bricks laid in arched construction
- Loading capacity ranges from 1 tons to 5 tons as per needs
- Multi-layer insulation consisting of high alumina lightweight refractory bricks backed by alumina fiber insulation
- Heating elements mounted on support ceramic tubes provide for free radiation and long service life.
- Bogie heating via blade contacts with rear side when driven in,
- Bottom heating protected by Silicon carbide board on the bogie providing level stacking surface.
- Bogies with flanged wheels running on rails for easy and precise movement of heavy loads
- Precise Shimaden PID controller with programmable 32 segments
- CE certified, standard
Safety Measures
- Built-in ammeter and dual voltmeters for easy monitoring and troubleshooting.
- Overheat protection shuts down the furnace if temperature is outside of acceptable range (refer to controller's manual) or when the thermocouple is broken or malfunctions
- Power failure protection resumes furnace operation right after the point of failure when power is reestablished
- Microprocessor based self-tuning PID control provides optimum thermal process with minimal overshoot

Application Notes
- However, toxic or explosive gases that may generate from the sample during the heating are not recommended for use with this programmable muffle furnace without necessary safety controls and supervision.
- Small cracks may appear on the surface of the refractory ceramics over extended use. This is a normal occurrence and the cracks may be repaired with alumina coating
