Unique “Space Saver” design offers the convenience and economy of two independently controlled chambers in one packaged assembly. The upper chamber (Hardening) is equipped with an alloy muffle for operation with a positive flow of atmosphere to 2050°F. The alloy muffle separates the chamber refractory 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 AM models are ideal for cyclical or production type applications.

The lower chamber (Tempering) is complete with a stainless steel liner and fan to recirculate the heat for uniform temperature. Available at operating temperatures of 800°F(88), 1200°F(82), 1400°F(84), and 1600°F(86). Ideal for Tool Rooms and Schools, providing a complete heat treat station in one furnace.

Ruggedly constructed and rated for work loads up to 50 lbs. per square foot of hearth area. All models are completely wired, assembled, test fired and shipped ready for connection to main power supply. Compact design, fast installation, and simple, safe, dependable operation. All models will operate with inert atmosphere. Flammable atmosphere may be used with the addition of Atmosphere Safety System per NFPA Code 86 C.

Standard Features
