Chamber Furnace PK up to 1280 °C
Max temp: 1280 °C | Volume: 55–1400 l | Voltage: 400 V
Chamber furnace for hardening, annealing and preheating up to 1280 °C
Need an industrial furnace for hardening, annealing, cementing or preheating metal charges under repeatable conditions?
The PK chamber furnace up to 1280 °C is designed for heat treatment processes where high temperature, three-side heating, protected heating elements and practical handling of heavier charges are required.
- You process metal parts, tools, moulds or castings
- You need heat treatment up to 1280 °C
- You require hardening, annealing, normalising or cementing
- You work with heavier charges and need practical loading support
- You need heating elements protected against mechanical damage
- You may require a semi-gastight version for partial protective atmosphere use
Key features:
- Maximum temperature 1280 °C
- Recommended operating range 700–1250 °C
- Chamber volumes from 55 to 1400 L
- Heating from three sides
- SiC side covering plates protecting heating elements from mechanical damage
- Rotary table for charge handling on selected models
- Manual or electro-hydraulic door opening depending on model size
- Optional semi-gastight design with protective atmosphere supply
Typical applications
- Hardening
- Annealing
- Normalisation annealing
- Homogenisation annealing
- Cementing
- Preheating moulds
- Preheating shell moulds
- Preheating castings
- Preheating moulds before forging
- Heat treatment under a partially protective atmosphere with optional semi-gastight equipment
Typical industries
- Heat treatment shops
- Toolmaking
- Metal processing
- Foundries and casting operations
- Mechanical engineering
- Forging operations
Main benefits
- Suitable for demanding high-temperature heat treatment
- Heating from three sides supports uniform heat distribution
- Heating elements protected by SiC side covering plates
- Practical charge handling on selected models
- Optional semi-gastight version for partial protective atmosphere use
If a furnace with electrically operated door opening is preferred, consider the PKE chamber furnace up to 1280 °C.
Optional accessories available at additional cost
- Protective atmosphere supply
- Semi-gastight furnace design without gas supply (this is combined with protective atmosphere supply)
- Optimisation of the temperature field to meet the DIN 17052-1 C10-B13 ΔT 20 °C standard in the internal usable space (in an empty furnace; measured in the range from 900 °C to 1100 °C; a grommet for thermocouples is required)
- Measurement protocol for temperature uniformity (a grommet is needed for the TUS test)
- Three-channel digital temperature recorder
- Measuring loop calibration
- EIA-485 or LAN interface
- HtMonit EV set (contains software + interface)
- Grommet for TUS test measuring thermocouples
- Metal plate for the bottom (only up to temperatures of 1000 °C)
- Non-controlled overpressure forced cooling (this cannot be combined with semi-gastight version)
- Controlled overpressure forced cooling (this cannot be combined with semi-gastight version)
- Set of SiC side covering plates
Custom additional components
- Custom stand
- Custom controller
- Electro-hydraulic door opening towards the top
- Foot pedal or hand lever for door opening
- Pneumatic door opening with foot control or manual lever
- Operating tub for hardening in a protective atmosphere
