Box Furnace (BatchMaster®)
The Batchmaster® furnace is a flexible single chamber furnace (oven) design that can be customized to meet many processing requirements. Furnaces can be provided in electric, direct fired, and indirect gas fired configurations to meet specific processing requirements. Retorts can be incorporated within the design when special processing atmospheres are required.
The furnace design is typically loaded through a single vertically opened door, but the furnace can be configured as a lift cover, tilt top or with multiple doors.
The box furnace can be combined with loading cars, companion quench tanks, and washers to form complete heat treating cells.
