What is a Bogie Hearth Furnaces
by Therser UK on 11-May-2023 15:21:30
A Bogie Hearth Furnace, also known as a Bogie Furnace or Bogie Hearth Oven, is a type of industrial furnace commonly used for various heat treatment processes, such as annealing, tempering, stress relieving, and brazing of metal components. It is particularly suitable for large and heavy workpieces or batches of materials.
The key feature of a Bogie Hearth Furnace is its movable hearth or platform, referred to as a bogie. The bogie is a robust structure capable of supporting and transporting the load within the furnace. It is equipped with wheels or rollers that allow it to move in and out of the furnace chamber.
The operation of a Bogie Hearth Furnace generally involves the following steps:
-
Loading: The workpieces or material to be heat treated are loaded onto the bogie outside the furnace chamber. The bogie is then positioned at the entrance of the furnace.
-
Heating: The furnace is heated to the desired temperature using burners or electric heating elements. The heat is transferred to the furnace chamber, raising the temperature to the required level.
-
Bogie Movement: Once the furnace reaches the desired temperature, the bogie with the load is moved into the furnace chamber. The bogie is typically motorized, allowing it to enter and exit the furnace smoothly.
-
Heat Treatment: The workpieces or material on the bogie are exposed to the desired temperature and dwell time for the specific heat treatment process. This can include heating, soaking, and cooling stages, depending on the requirements.
-
Bogie Removal: After the heat treatment process is completed, the bogie is withdrawn from the furnace chamber, either manually or using automated mechanisms. The heat-treated components or materials can then be unloaded from the bogie for further processing or handling.
Bogie Hearth Furnaces offer advantages such as versatility in accommodating various workpiece sizes and weights, uniform heat distribution, and ease of loading and unloading. They are commonly used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and metal manufacturing, where heat treatment is crucial to achieve desired material properties.
It's worth noting that the design and features of Bogie Hearth Furnaces can vary based on specific application requirements and manufacturer specifications.
