Horizontal transfer heat treatment furnaces for
light alloys, solution treatment and quenching
This multi-purpose furnace enables you to carry out not only solution treatment and quenching but also tempering and annealing of your parts. SAT manufactures heat treatment furnace with horizontal transfer.
Why a heat treatment furnace with horizontal transfer?
The Alu-SAT 1000 heat treatment furnace is the range of horizontal transfer furnaces for solution treatment and quenching of light alloys which are the most versatile and the most economically appropriate for small and medium-sized loads.
By combining two movements (one horizontal on exit from the furnace and one vertical for quenching), horizontal heat treatment furnaces can provide short transfer times of as little as 7 seconds.
Several versions are available:
- Furnace alone, manual, without quenching tank for solution treatment of light alloy parts with small dimensions or a profile requiring hand quenching.
- Furnace with quenching tank and a mechanized system guiding the load out of the furnace and into the tank by manual action
- Fully automated furnace managing the solution treatment, the transfer time, the quenching and the removal of the parts from the bath.
Depending on your requirement, we can offer you control solutions ranging from a simple control system to complete piloting and management of your cycles.
The international environment of our industrial partners has allowed us to fully master today’s standardization systems.
General design standards: CE, UL, AQSIQ, etc., but also the standards linked to specific sectors such as NADCAP, AMS, BAC and CQi9.
