Gas fired pit furnaces with built in retort available in single or two stage nitriding systems. Today it still sets the standard in the industry for fast heat up and tight temperature uniformity. Pit furnace is a type of a furnace bath which is installed in the form of a pit and is used for melting small quantities of ferrous and non ferrous metals for production of castings. Celebrating 100 years as a leading supplier of heat treatment and non ferrous melting solutions to customers worldwide lindberg mph is pleased to offer our cyclone pit furnace in electric or gas fired configuration.
Surface atmosphere pit furnaces can be heated by gas fired radiant tubes or electric resistance heating elements. The furnaces have a separate heating fan chamber that provides heat to the work chamber. The job or charge is loaded into a retort which functions as the chamber of the furnace and the retort is heated externally electrically. Cyclone gas fired pit furnaces are capable of temperatures up to 1250 f 1400 f optional.
A pit furnace is ideal for solution treatment tempering and the heating of any densely packed load carried in a cylindrical basket. It is provided with refractory inside and chimney at the top. They can be designed as either gas fired and electrically heated for most of these applications. Both models are capable of reaching maximum temperatures up to 1250 f with an optional modification that yields 1400 f.
Pit furnace is available with or without retorts in customized dimensions and variations to carry out the complete heat treatment process.
