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.

Tip-up (‘clam-shell’ design) units eliminate potential furnace door leaks by allowing the entire furnace bottom perimeter to be sealed against a fiber/sand seal box.We provide tip-up furnaces in custom designs and sizes to meet customer production and process requirements.

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

With our SCADA systems, the furnace operators are able to have complete control of their heating and thermal treating processes, enhancing efficiency and productivity.

Our latest Industry 4.0 developments integrate the latest technology to not only monitor the process, but also to keep the furnace operating in its peak performance with smart maintenance technology.

All the data generated during the heating and thermal treating processes is stored in our SCADA system, which then is used to generate reports, graphs and intelligence data, to help customers in their decision making process.
