Bell-type furnace is a discontinuous & variable temperature furnace, the furnace combustion chamber has no segmentation, the furnace temperature varies along with time according to heating process. The heated workpiece in bell-type is mostly: rolled strips and wires, tied bars and tubes, stacked plates and allotypes whose size is small and form is complex.
Application:
1)Bright annealing of workpieces
2)General heat treatment of workpieces
Structure characteristic: Bell-type furnace is composed of external bell, internal bell and furnace stand. Bell-type furnace needs neither furnace door and its lifting mechanism, nor mechanical transmission, so the investment is lower. During the production, generally, many charged furnace stands combine a group to share a external bell (heating bell). After heating process, the external bell is installed on the other furnace stand, in order to start a new heat treatment heating process.
Furnace classification:
Heat schedule: bright annealing furnace, heat treatment furnace.
External bell form: circle and rectangle form.
Advantages:
1)Don’t need various mechanical transmissions, lower investment.
2)Occupation area is small, but production capacity is bigger.
3)Because of good tightness, it can have the protection atmosphere.
Fuel: Coal-gas, blast furnace gas, mixed gas of blast furnace & coker, natural gas, electricity and light fuel etc.
