How to Use a Bogie Hearth Furnace
In modern industrial production, the bogie hearh furnace has become
an indispensable equipment in many manufacturing enterprises with its excellent
performance and efficient heat treatment capability. As a professional
manufacturer of bogie hearth furnaces, Brother Furnace understands the
importance of the quality of the equipment and operating skills on the
production results.
In this article, we will introduce how to correctly use the bogie hearth furnace, to help you better improve production efficiency.
Overview of Bogie Hearth Furnace
The bogie hearth furnace is a kind of equipment used for metal heat treatment, especially suitable for the tempering process. The machine is especially suitable for the tempering and heating process of cast steel parts, automobile parts, rolls, steel balls, metal structural parts, welded parts, etc.
Its temperature range can cover room temperature to 650℃. The design structure of the bogie-type tempering furnace is able to deal with large batches of workpieces to ensure the uniformity of heating and the stability of heat treatment.
Composition and Function of Bogie Hearth Tempering Furnace
Structure
Bogie-type tempering furnace adopts an energy-saving cyclic operation furnace design, the furnace structure is composed of high-strength steel, with good structural strength and high-temperature resistance. The overall lifting and transportation of the furnace facilitates the installation and movement of the equipment.
The furnace door is designed in two forms: up and down lifting type or walking type with the cart, which is convenient for the operator to load and unload the workpiece. The charging cart is motorized in and out, and the internal and external travel adopts the integrated internal and external rail, which eliminates the tediousness of foundation construction.
Heating System
The interior of the furnace adopts a full refractory fiber structure (except the bottom of the furnace), the thickness of the refractory layer is designed according to the furnace temperature of 800℃, and the heating elements are also designed and selected according to the furnace temperature of 800℃.
This design takes into account the special heating characteristics of the workpiece to obtain better temperature uniformity inside the furnace.
According to the size of the furnace chamber, the machine is equipped with a single-zone or multi-zone temperature control system, and a circulating fan and hot air circulation system are added to the furnace to further improve the temperature uniformity and processing efficiency.
Temperature Control System
Brother Furnace's bogie hearth furnaces are equipped with advanced temperature control systems, including temperature sensors, a PLC control system, and touch screen interface.
These systems allow the user to accurately set parameters such as heating temperature, tempering time, etc., and are able to monitor and adjust the temperature in the furnace in real-time, ensuring that each workpiece achieves the desired heat treatment results.
Safety and Maintenance
The traveling cables of the trolley-type tempering furnace are protected by drag chains, and the equipment is equipped with several safety limit devices to ensure safe operation. The trolley is fitted with a pressure- and heat-resistant cast steel base plate, capable of carrying heavy workpieces. Regular inspection and maintenance of the equipment to ensure its long-term stable operation.
Operation Steps of Bogie Hearth Furnace
1. Preparation
Before using the bogie-type tempering furnace, first carry out the equipment inspection. Check the status of the furnace chamber, cart, heating system, and cooling system to ensure that all components are functioning properly. Check whether the power supply and gas supply is stable to avoid failure during operation.
2. Load the Workpiece
Choose a suitable bogie hearth furnace and load it according to the size and quantity of workpieces. The workpieces should be placed evenly on the trolley, making sure that there is enough clearance between each workpiece so that the hot air can circulate evenly. Avoid excessive stacking or dense placement, which may affect the heat treatment effect.
3. Setting Parameters
Set the heating temperature, tempering time, and cooling mode through the control system. Adjust the temperature and time according to the requirements of different materials to achieve the best tempering effect.
4. Start the Furnace
After confirming that all settings are correct, start the bogie-type tempering furnace. The furnace starts to heat up and the bogie enters the furnace. Temperature fluctuation during the heating process should be kept within the setting range to avoid too high or too low temperature affecting the quality of the workpiece.
5. Cooling Treatment
After heating, the workpiece is cooled. Temperature changes during cooling should be smooth to prevent the workpiece from being deformed or cracked due to rapid temperature changes.
6. Remove the workpiece
After the cooling process is completed, open the furnace door and carefully remove the workpiece. Check the heat treatment effect of the workpiece to ensure that it meets the design requirements. If subsequent treatment is required, record the treatment data for further analysis and optimization of the process.
Maintenance and Conservation
Regular Inspection
The bogie hearth furnace from Brother Furnace needs to be inspected regularly to ensure that the various systems are functioning properly. Please regularly check whether the heating system is working properly, and whether the temperature control system is accurate, and regularly check the wear and tear of the furnace, and replace the damaged parts in time.
Cleaning
Keeping the furnace clean is an important measure to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. Regularly clean the dust, residue, and dirt inside the cart tempering furnace to avoid accumulation of damage to the equipment. Cleaning should use special tools and cleaners to prevent adverse effects on the equipment.
Record and Analyze
You can record the relevant data of each operation, including heating temperature, tempering time, cooling method, etc.. These data are important for analyzing the process effect and optimizing the operation process. By analyzing the data, you can identify potential problems with the equipment and take appropriate measures to improve them.
