Model Selection Guide

Below is a general guide to help you select the right Lucifer Furnaces model for specific heat-treating applications. Each model is designed to provide optimal performance, efficiency, and precision for various processes like hardening, tempering, annealing, and high-temperature applications.

HARDENING - BATCH FURNACES

Lucifer Furnaces Box Furnaces: 
For hardening applications, Lucifer Furnaces offers a range of box furnaces, including the Red Devil Economy Series. These batch furnaces are engineered for efficiency and reliability in hardening a variety of metals. Suitable for general-purpose heat treating, they provide uniform heating for small to medium-sized batches, ideal for machine shops and small manufacturing operations.

TEMPERING - STRESS RELIEF - ANNEALING - BATCH OVENS

Lucifer Furnaces Industrial Heat-Treating Ovens
For processes such as tempering, stress relieving, and annealing, Lucifer’s industrial heat-treating ovens are an excellent choice. These ovens provide controlled, uniform heating and precise temperature control, which are essential for relieving internal stresses and achieving the desired mechanical properties in metals after hardening.

HARDENING & TEMPERING

Dual Chamber Models
For facilities needing both hardening and tempering capabilities in a compact setup, Lucifer Furnaces’ Dual Chamber Models are an efficient solution. The Red Devil Dual Chamber Economy Furnaces offer a space-saving design with two chambers in one unit – one for hardening and another for tempering – to streamline workflows and reduce the footprint in the shop.

HIGH SPEED STEEL 

HS Box Furnaces, HS Dual Chamber Furnaces, HS Atmosphere Furnaces
High-speed steel (HSS) requires specialized heat-treating equipment. Our HS Box Furnaces, HS Dual Chamber Furnaces, and HS Atmosphere Furnaces are built to handle the unique requirements of HSS hardening, including precise temperature control and atmosphere protection to prevent oxidation and decarburization during the process.

 



HIGH TEMPERATURE applications 

Dual Chamber HS and Atmosphere High Temperature Furnaces
For applications requiring high-temperature capabilities, our Dual Chamber HS and Atmosphere High Temperature Furnaces are ideal. These models are designed for processes that need sustained exposure to extreme temperatures, often required for specialized alloy steels and complex metal components.

Heat Treating under PROTECTIVE ATMOSPHERE

GT, AM, RAM, and EQ Models
For applications that require controlled atmospheres to prevent oxidation or scale, Lucifer offers GT, AM, RAM, and EQ models. These furnaces create a protective environment that maintains the integrity of the metal surface during the heat-treating process, making them suitable for sensitive alloys and precision components.

LARGE HEAVY LOADS

Top-Loading Furnaces and Elevator Furnaces
When handling large, heavy loads, our Top Loading and Elevator Furnaces provide the strength and accessibility needed for heavy-duty heat treating. These furnaces are specifically engineered to support large parts or heavy batches, making loading and unloading easier and ensuring uniform heat distribution even for larger components.

CONTINUOUS LOADING applications

Conveyor and Pusher Furnaces
For facilities with continuous production needs, conveyor and pusher furnaces offer a streamlined solution. These models are customized for high-volume, repeatable processes, providing a continuous heat-treating flow that improves efficiency and minimizes downtime. Contact us to discuss conveyor and pusher furnace options for your specific production requirements.

Choosing the right furnace model for your heat-treating application depends on your specific process requirements, load sizes, and atmosphere needs. Get in touch with us for a more detailed consultation on the best furnace or oven model to meet your operational goals.
