Integral Quench Furnaces are ideal for heat treatment of small parts under protective atmosphere for operation to 2050°F. The economical design of these units provides an inexpensive manual method of heating & quenching small parts without exposure to air. The workload is heated in the furnace chamber and pulled into the vestibule section where the parts drop through a manually operated flapper mechanism into a basket located in the quench tank. The quench basket is easily removed from the tank. The furnaces are complete with an alloy muffle which separates the atmosphere and workload from refractory and elements, and an inner door which separates the furnace chamber from the vestibule section. An outer door provides a positive seal against the vestibule. The IQ Models operate under a positive flow of protective atmosphere to minimize scale and oxidation on most tool steels. This design achieves lower dew points, reduces atmosphere consumption and shortens purge time.

Compact design, easy installation and simple, safe, dependable operation. Available in 7 standard sizes. All models are completely wired, test fired and shipped ready for connection to main power and regulated atmosphere pressure of 5 PSI. All models will operate with inert atmosphere. Flammable atmosphere may be used with the addition of Atmosphere Safety System per NFPA Code 86 C.
