TIP-UP FURNACES

Experience unmatched reliability with our Tip-Up Furnaces

NUTEC Bickley Tip-Up Furnaces

NUTEC Bickley's tip-up furnaces provide a flexible operational process by allowing the high temperature process (austenitizing) and the low temperature process (tempering) to be executed in the same furnace.

Tip-up furnaces are commonly used in intermittent (or batch) processes. Here, the product is placed directly into the furnace by means of a front-loading mechanism, usually via a forklift or using a handling device.

The process of lifting or opening the furnace is usually performed using hydraulic cylinders to ensure an efficient mechanical movement of the unit.

Key Differentiators

Efficiency: Rapid cooling between processes to enable each of the different cycles to be commenced.

AMS Compliant: Designed to comply with AMS 2750E with temperature tolerance capacity up to Class 1, if necessary.

Temperature Uniformity: Flexible designs within a single unit to meet temperature uniformity requirements (TUS): In the range 150ºC to 1,200ºC (300ºF to 2,190ºF).

Firing: Pulsed combustion and control systems.

Energy Efficiency: Most advanced heat recovery systems with recuperative burners that provide fuel savings ranging from 10% up to 50% compared to cold air systems.

Insulation: Sections equipped with ceramic fiber using the patented Jointless® design, a system which does not have joints and features a special design to compensate for fiber shrinkage, considerably reducing maintenance requirements.
