Fluidtherm technology supplies state-of-the-art sintering furnaces of various types [mesh belt, pusher and walking beam] for sintering of mass produced components. Furnaces processing small components are hump back and those processing large components are straight and equipped with gas tight charging doors. Heat input is either by electrical resistance or by gas fuing. The furnaces are set with multiplane thyristorised heating control for a high degree of cross-sectional and longitudinal temperature uniformity. The use of ceramic muffles that last the life of the furnace avoid the annual replacement of expensive alloy ,steel muffles. The plants are provided with optional in-line dew point control, rapid cooling with gas heat exchanger and closed circuit water cooling that prevents corrosion of the water jacket.
