Lucifer Furnaces (Warrington, PA) is supplying a heavy-duty, high-temperature, dual-chamber furnace to a leading designer and manufacturer of specialized cutting tools and tooling equipment in Victoria, Australia.
The Model HS8-K12 that is being shipped has a 12 in x 12 in x 12 in hardening chamber mounted above an identically sized tempering chamber. The upper chamber, which heats to 2450 deg F, contains long-lasting silicon carbide heating elements with an SCR power supply for steady state power control. Ceramic fiber insulation combined with mineral wool fiber reduces energy costs and facilitates faster heating and cooling cycles. The lower chamber, which heats to 1200 deg F, contains a stainless liner forming the work area, which is uniformly heated with easy-to-replace heating elements and a recirculating rear mounted fan.
Horizontal swing doors on both chambers have cam locks to insure a positive seal and safety micro switches to shut off power when doors are opened.
