Lindberg/MPH ships large-chamber utility box furnace to automotive parts supplier

Lindberg/MPH, Riverside, Mich., has shipped an electrically heated, large-chamber utility box furnace to an automotive supplier. The furnace will be used for batch-testing aluminum castings on a daily basis at a temperature of 932 degrees F.

The work chamber dimensions of this heat-treat furnace are 24 by 24 by 24 in. It has a maximum temperature rating of 2,012 degrees F.

The box furnace is available in nine chamber sizes. It uses vacuum-formed ceramic fiber insulation with low heat loss, which helps with rapid heat-up and control response. The double steel shell construction creates a low-temperature outer surface. The insulation and heating elements maintain uniform heat distribution.

Features include a 34-in.-high alloy hearth plate for supporting the work load; a side-hinged, plug-type door with a limit switch that cuts off power when the door is opened; embedded elements in the roof, rear, and side walls; a prewired, side-mounted, forced air-cooled control console; two Honeywell DC2500 units for primary and excess temperature control; LED element fault indication on the control panel; and an SSR solid-state power control module.
