TEMPERING FURNACE
AND QUENCH TANK

 

Electric Tempering Furnace can be combined with electric Bench Furnaces or Inert Atmosphere Bench Furnaces to produce a space-saving, over-and-under, heat treating and tempering furnace combination. The top chamber with its manually operated vertical lift door can be selected from among four sizes of 2000°F and 2200°F Bench Furnaces described on Bulletin BF-710 or Inert Atmosphere Bench Furnaces described on Bulletin BF-720. The Quench Tank is a free standing unit available with electric heat.
