Vertical furnaces with mobile hearth
These furnaces have been developed in response to specific treatment needs, which require the workpieces to be positioned vertically. These applications include a number of uses in the aviation sector, such as landing gear, in industry for the production of dies or extruders, or when the pieces for heat treatments are particularly tall, as in the case of tubes or cylinders; in this case the best solution is without a doubt to choose a vertical furnace, specially designed for the heat treatment of workpieces with shapes of this kind.
Designed for special applications
The capability for loading from below by lifting the mobile hearth and a variety of support options depending on operating needs mean that the right answer is always available for every application. If the parts for treatment are particularly large and heavy, or complex shapes make handling problematical, a VBL furnace is certainly the best solution; the hearth moves vertically for easier loading access and also travels horizontally outside the furnace for easier loading and unloading of the workpiece. With this system, loading and unloading by means of a hoist or bridge crane is a simple procedure.
