    Chamber furnace for hardening, annealing and preheating up to 1280 °C

    Need a high-temperature furnace for hardening, annealing, cementing or preheating of smaller manually handled charges?

    The PKE chamber furnace up to 1280 °C is a compact version of the PK series, designed for heat treatment processes where compact dimensions, faster heat-up and reliable high-temperature operation are required.

    When is this furnace the right choice?
    • You need heat treatment up to 1280 °C
    • You process small or medium-size charges handled manually
    • You need a furnace for hardening, annealing, cementing or preheating
    • You want faster heat-up than with larger chamber furnaces
    • You need a compact furnace for laboratory, workshop or smaller industrial use
    • You want optional equipment for temperature uniformity, cooling or protective atmosphere applications
    The PKE furnace offers a practical balance between compact dimensions and industrial heat treatment capability. Compared with the larger PK series, it has lower heat accumulation and therefore heats up faster, which is useful especially for occasional or batch heat treatment.

    Key features:

    • Maximum temperature 1280 °C
    • Recommended operating range 700–1200 °C
    • Heating from three sides — two sides and bottom
    • Exchangeable heating panels
    • Manual downward-opening door
    • Available chamber volumes from approx. 12 to 87 L
    • Tabletop design for smaller models
    • Standalone version for larger models

    Typical applications

    • Hardening
    • Annealing
    • Cementing / carburizing
    • Preheating prior to forging
    • Preheating moulds
    • Preheating castings
    • Thermal processing of metallic materials under a partially protective atmosphere
    • Material testing
    • Glass fusing
    • Sintering – partially suitable
    • Enamel firing – partially suitable
    • Incineration, combustion and annealing loss – partially suitable
    • Melting metal materials – partially suitable

    Typical industries

    • Toolmaking
    • Heat treatment shops
    • Metalworking workshops
    • Mechanical engineering
    • Maintenance and repair operations
    • Testing laboratories
    • Small-batch industrial production

    Main benefits

    • Suitable for smaller manually loaded charges
    • Faster heat-up compared with larger chamber furnaces
    • Heating from three sides supports uniform heat distribution
    • Compact design for workshops and smaller production areas
    • Configurable for temperature uniformity, cooling or protective atmosphere applications
    Suitable for customers who need a compact chamber furnace for hardening, annealing, cementing and preheating up to 1280 °C.

    For larger, heavier or more intensive industrial workloads, consider the PK chamber furnace up to 1280 °C.

    PKE or PK furnace?

    • Choose PKE for smaller manually loaded charges
    • Choose PKE when compact dimensions and faster heat-up are important
    • Choose PK for larger, heavier or more frequent industrial batches
    • Choose PK when easier manipulation of large charges is required

    Optional accessories available at additional cost

    • Protective atmosphere supply (cannot be produced in the semi-gastight option)
    • Optimisation of the temperature field for compliance with DIN 17052-1 ΔT 20 °C in the internal usable space (in an empty furnace at Tmax, a grommet for thermocouple 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 interfaces
    • HtMonit EV set (contains software + interface)
    • Metal plate for the bottom (only up to temperatures of 1,000 °C)
    • Non-controlled overpressure forced cooling (only with the HT 205 controller, only for furnaces PKE 25 and PKE 45, cannot be combined with hardening table)
    • Controlled overpressure forced cooling (only with the HT 205 controller, only for furnaces PKE 25 and PKE 45, cannot be combined with hardening table)
    • Ejector with exhaust fan and draw interrupter for drawing flue gases away (we do not recommend combining this with a protective atmosphere intake)
    • Grommet for TUS test measuring thermocouples
