Lucifer Furnaces ships seventh large dual-chamber furnace to auto manufacturer

Lucifer Furnaces has shipped a seventh large dual-chamber 8000 series furnace to a U.S. auto manufacturer. Each chamber is 24 by 24 by 36 in. This heavy-duty furnace-over-oven features 12-ga. sheet steel construction with reinforced members for a solid framework.

The upper hardening chamber heats with 45-kW power to banks of elements on sides, door, and back. The heating elements are designed with heavy-gauge wire mounted in removable holders. The upper chamber cast hearth plates support the workload and can be replaced without disturbing the heating elements.

The lower tempering oven with 20-kW power features a stainless steel liner shielding heating elements from the workload. This three-sided liner has a cast hearth plate for durability.
