Atmosphere furnaces process parts in a controlled gas environment to prevent oxidation during carburizing, annealing, and other heat treating cycles. Surface’s lineup includes our industry benchmark Allcase® Batch Integral Quench Furnace, as well as Pit Furnaces, Rotary Retort, and more. These atmosphere furnaces support processes including annealing, carburizing, carbonitriding, and marquenching.
Vacuum furnaces remove air and contaminants from the chamber to process parts without an outside atmosphere. Surface Combustion’s vacuum line includes the VacuDraw® tempering furnace, Power Convection® Furnace, Cloverleaf™ Vacuum Furnace, and more. These furnaces support processes including annealing and brazing.
Batch furnaces process a fixed load of parts through a heating, holding, and cooling cycle before unloading. Surface Combustion’s batch line includes the Allcase® Batch Integral Quench Furnace, VersaQuench® Quick Quench Furnace, Uni-DRAW® batch temper furnace, and more.
Continuous furnaces move parts through the furnace on a belt, roller, or rotating hearth for uninterrupted, high-volume processing. Surface Combustion’s continuous line includes Mesh Belt furnaces, Roller Hearth furnaces, Rotary Hearth furnaces, and more. These furnaces support high-volume carburizing cycles and other processes such as annealing and hardening.
RX® and DX® gas generators produce consistent, on-site controlled atmospheres, reducing dependence on outside gas suppliers. RX® endothermic generators create the base carbon potential for carburizing, carbonitriding, ferritic nitrocarburizing, and neutral hardening. DX® exothermic generators produce an inert atmosphere for bright annealing, bluing, brazing, normalizing, purging, sintering, and tempering.
Surface Combustion’s process control systems manage furnace temperature, atmosphere, and material handling across continuous and batch heat treat lines, using open-architecture programmable controllers and advanced SCADA systems.
