Wisconsin Oven ships horizontal solution treat system to aerospace industry

Wisconsin Oven Corp., East Troy, Wis., has shipped an electrically heated horizontal solution treat system with a chiller system to a manufacturer in the aerospace industry. It has a maximum oven operating temperature of 1,100 degrees F and work zone dimensions of 12 ft. 3 in. by 3 ft. 11 in. by 4 ft. 6 in.

This horizontal quench system is designed to heat a 2,840-lb. gross load, a mixture of aluminum and steel, to 1,000 degrees F operating temperature; provide a soak at temperature; and then move the load into a quench tank. A hydraulically operated load/unload system lowers and raises the load for quenching.

Quench time does not exceed 7 seconds from the time the door starts to open until the load is fully submerged.
