INDUSTRIAL FURNACES

Nutec Bickley provides Heavy Duty Car Bottom Ovens & Furnaces in custom designs and dimensions to match customer production and process requirements. They offer a great advantage which is the ability to handle large / heavy loads, as the product is loaded onto the car(s) when located outside the actual furnace area; this eliminates the damage to the industrial furnace interiors during loading and unloading.

We provide Industrial Heavy Duty furnaces and ovens for temperature ranges from 300ºF to 2,450 ºF (150°C to 1,340°C) to perform a wide variety of process applications as Forging, Ferrous Castings, Aluminum, Electrical (Transformers & Motors), etc. Our Box furnaces design and fabrication provides a heavy duty Forge box furnaces line, from 30 ft3 to over 3,500 ft3, from 1 m³ to 1,000 m³ (30 ft³ - 3,500 ft³), in custom designs.

Rotary Hearth Furnaces

We provide a wide range of rotary with dimensions from 1.5 m³ to 18 m³ (5 ft³ - 60 ft³) diameter. These furnaces are mostly used for heat treating and reheating processes.In many cases these furnaces are integrated with load/unload manipulators to feed forging cells, forming lines, or quenching systems. Much of the ancillary equipment can be supplied by Nutec Bickley with our rotary furnaces.

Nutec Bickley provides tip-up furnaces and ovens that eliminate possible door leakage by allowing the entire furnace bottom perimeter to seal against a fiber / sand seal box. For temperature ranges from 950ºF to 2,200ºF to perform process as: Austenitizing and tempering of forged parts and steel castings, Malleability of iron castings, Annealing of steel wire and more.

We provide roller hearth ovens and industrial furnaces design for batch process applications, and for indexing-continuous production. We provide them for temperatures up to 1,700ºF (930°C) with Pulse firing combustion systems and the most advanced heat recovery systems with recuperative burners performing fuel savings from 10% up to 50% vs cold air systems.

We can supply provides walking beam furnaces for industries like Forging, Stress Relief, Tube, Rod and wire, and more. The handling system of this type of heat treatment furnace (fixed beams and walking beams) can be made with hard refractory material, or with high temperature steel alloys in custom shapes according to the size of the product.

Our custom continuous ovens and furnaces can be provided for temperature ranges from 200ºF to 1200ºF to perform in the following industries: Forging, Ferrous Castings, Aluminum, Stress Relief Furnace, Electrical, etc. We review the individual product and process application, to determine the ideal choice of conveyor and the best air flow pattern system to transmit the heat efficiently to the load.

Nutec Bickley provides pusher type furnaces for continuous - indexing production with indexing pusher mechanisms located outside of the furnace and pushes a whole train of trays or containers along the length of the furnace. This type of industrial furnace has fixed “roll-rails” or “skid rails” on top of the refractory hearth to support the trays or containers along the furnace.

We supply drop bottom quench furnaces to complete solution and T6 heat treatments in a batch configuration. The combination of the main features like customized air distribution furnace system, quick door opening, heavy duty lifting mechanism and quench tank with required agitation makes this furnace as the ideal equipment for aluminum heat treat of the castings and forging parts.

Our aluminum solution heat treating furnaces feature the best available technology, whether that is for Gas fired heating systems, Electrically heated with low density Incoloy sheathed element, High velocity air recirculation system with stainless steel baffles, Electromechanical or hydraulic hoist system and Optional PAG (Polyalkylene Glycol/Polymer) management system.

Nutec Bickley provides heavy duty moving hood furnaces for the heat treatment process (Normalizing, Annealing, stress relieving and others) of steel forgings and castings and large steel plate formed parts. This furnaces are an excellent alternative for heavy loads placed in several stationary bases, and moving hood furnace is travelling to the required heating station.

We provide high technology regenerative burner reheating furnaces and systems for the aluminum melters, Forge Furnaces and other applications. They recover waste heat from furnace exhaust gases and preheat combustion air to significantly increase efficiency over conventional burners or recuperative burners.

We provide quenching systems for heat treatment processes and applications, including the design and fabrication of immersion quench tanks in customized sizes for water, polymer and oil with integrated elevator option and all necessary agitation systems. Forced air quenching chambers are designed and fabrication for continuous applications to complete the heat treating quenching applications.

Bell furnaces offer an economical method of heat treating iron castings and steel parts when used with multiple bases. Some advantages of this equipment are the excellent positive seal between furnace and base, and can be used with multiple bases. They also have different bell lifting methods available depending on customer’s requirements and layout.

BASKETLESS FURNACES

The basketless heat treatment furnaces offer the distinct advantage of reducing capital costs, ongoing maintenance costs and energy consumption requirements.
