Continuous Conveyor Hardening & Tempering Plants

Fluidtherm Technology Pvt Ltd designs Continuous Conveyor Hardening and Tempering Plants for process capabilities like: neutral hardening and tempering, carbonitriding, shallow case carburising, austempering, and carbon restoration and hardening. Consistency of quality is better obtained when components are continuously quenched, a few pieces at a time instead of in a batch at periodic intervals. Of the total tonnage of heat treated components the majority do not require fixturing and can tumble into a quench tank. The ideal plant for all such components in terms of quality, capital cost as well as operating cost is a continuous conveyorised heating and quenching system. Components spend less time at temperature and consume less energy compared to batch furnaces. Continuous quenching, a few components at a time, ensures a high degree of quality consistency in terms of hardness, case depth and physical properties. Such plants with conveyorised auxiliary equipment for loading, washing and tempering are normally fully automated.

Typical components processed:

• Bearing parts, chain parts, fasteners, springs, circlips, needles, appliance parts, auto parts, lock parts, hand tools, shoe shanks
• Hardening and tempering chain parts, screws, appliance parts, auto parts, PM parts, bicycle parts, bearing parts
• Carbonitriding/shallow case carburising
