Box furnaces offering the flexibility of heat treating and rapid cooling under protective atmosphere in an alloy muffle with a maximum operating temperature of 2050°F. The muffle is mounted on a portable cart assembly which can be easily rolled in and out of the furnace chamber. A double pivot horizontal swing door mounted on the furnace seals the chamber when the muffle is removed. The holding door maintains the chamber temperature enhancing furnace production capability for fast turnaround of the next muffle. The muffle separates the furnace insulation and heating elements from the workload and atmosphere to minimize scale and oxidation on most tool steels. This design achieves lower dew points in the work chamber, reduces atmosphere consumption and shortens purge time. The muffle is equipped with a manually removable plug door on chambers 7"H x 7"W and smaller; larger chambers are standard with a double pivot hinge door mounted on the cart.

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.
