Hot wall retort pit furnace for protective atmosphere heat treatment up to 950 °C
Need to heat treat large or heavy parts in a defined protective atmosphere with low gas consumption?
The SRC hot wall retort pit furnace up to 950 °C is designed for industrial processes where crane loading, protective atmosphere, low gas consumption and atmosphere circulation are required.
When is this furnace the right choice?
- You process large or heavy charges
- You load the charge by crane
- You need heat treatment in a protective atmosphere
- You work with argon, nitrogen, forming gas or similar process gases
- You need low protective gas consumption
- You require atmosphere circulation for better heat transfer
The SRC furnace combines a top-loading pit furnace design with a gastight retort and forced circulation of the protective atmosphere. The charge is suspended inside the retort and loaded from above, typically by crane. This makes the furnace suitable for bulky or heavy parts that cannot be handled comfortably in a standard chamber furnace.
Key features:
- Maximum temperature 950 °C
- Recommended operating range 600–900 °C
- Gastight retort for protective atmosphere processing
- Atmosphere circulation by fan installed in the lid
- Low protective gas consumption
- Electro-hydraulically lifted lid
- Automatic intake of protective atmosphere for one gas type without vacuum pump
- Standard pressure-vacuum gauge for checking overpressure and underpressure in the retort
- Available chamber volumes from approx. 500 to 1700 L
Typical applications
The SRC furnace is suitable for heat treatment processes where large or heavy charges require a defined protective atmosphere and controlled thermal processing.
- Normalisation annealing
- Soft annealing
- Annealing for stress relieving
- Recrystallisation annealing
- Artificial ageing
- High-temperature tempering
- Tempering
- Curing
- Nitriding
- Carbonitriding
- Sintering powdered metals
- Soldering
Typical industries
- Heat treatment shops
- Tool manufacturing
- Metal processing
- Mechanical engineering
- Automotive suppliers
- Research and development
- Industrial production with crane handling
Available models in this series
- SRC 500/95 – chamber volume approx. 500 L
- SRC 800/95 – chamber volume approx. 800 L
- SRC 1000/95 – chamber volume approx. 1000 L
- SRC 1700/95 – chamber volume approx. 1700 L
Main benefits
- Protective atmosphere heat treatment for large charges
- Low protective gas consumption
- Convenient top loading by crane
- Better heat transfer thanks to atmosphere circulation
- Defined operating environment inside the retort
Suitable for customers who need a hot wall retort pit furnace for large or heavy crane-loaded charges in a defined protective atmosphere up to 950 °C.
Important loading note:
The charge must not be placed directly on the retort bottom. The retort contains an internal collar intended for suspending the charge or charge fixture. When selecting the usable height, the height of the suspension fixture must also be considered.
