Successful heat processing of ceramics, metals and glass demands close temperature control and uniformity. That's why Prestige Thermal's Drop Bottom Furnaces are routinely used for solution treatment, firing, sintering, annealing, metallizing, and other heat treatment of a wide range of products at temperatures from 300°C up to 1200°C.

Microprocessor regulated heat input surrounds and penetrates the work load to provide both temperature control and uniformity. This is especially important with extra dense loads like tightly packed small items or large, heavy, ferrous and non ferrous parts.

With a Drop Bottom Furnace, product is easily loaded and unloaded with a motorized or pneumatically operated lift mechanism that is designed for vibration free movement, even when stopped or started at any point of travel.

Complete access to load or unload product quickly is possible because the bogie which also serves as the furnace hearth can be rolled clear of the furnace area. Additional bogies for greater productivity and various muffle retorts for atmosphere work are available as optional accessories.

METALS: Ferrous, non-ferrous, solution treatment, brazing, annealing, hardening, heat treatment.
