Bogie Hearth Furnace VKT up to 1260 °C
Max temp: 1260 °C | Volume: 800–6700 l | Voltage: 400 V
Heavy-duty bogie-hearth furnace for large charges up to 1260 °C
Need to heat treat large, heavy or bulky charges at high temperatures with easier loading and reliable temperature distribution?
The VKT bogie-hearth furnace is designed for industrial heat treatment processes where high load capacity, robust construction, five-sided heating and practical charge handling are essential.
- You need heat treatment up to 1260 °C
- Your recommended process temperature is within 700–1200 °C
- You process large, heavy or bulky charges
- You need loading by a furnace bogie trolley
- You require heating from five sides
- You need bogie load capacity up to approx. 8000 kg
Key features:
- Maximum temperature 1260 °C
- Recommended operating range 700–1200 °C
- Bogie-hearth loading system
- Heating from five sides — four furnace walls and the bogie hearth
- Robust steel structure for heavy-duty operation
- Heated bogie with covered heating spirals
- Chamber volumes from approx. 800 to 6700 l
- Maximum bogie load capacity from approx. 2000 to 8000 kg
Why choose the VKT bogie-hearth furnace?
The VKT furnace is suitable when the charge is too large, heavy or difficult to handle in a standard chamber furnace. The bogie trolley allows the charge to be prepared outside the furnace and then moved into the chamber.
- Easier loading of large and heavy parts
- High load capacity for industrial production
- Better access to the charge before and after heat treatment
- Suitable for moulds, castings, welded structures and bulky components
Heating from five sides
The VKT furnace uses resistance heating distributed on the furnace sides, rear wall, door and bogie hearth. This supports more uniform heat transfer around the charge and helps improve process stability.
- Heating on four furnace walls
- Heating spirals in the bogie hearth
- Covered bogie heating spirals protected by SiC boards
- Optional temperature field optimisation according to DIN 17052-1
Typical applications
- Preheating shell moulds
- Preheating prior to forging
- Preheating moulds
- Preheating castings
- Preheating before hardening
