Batch Heat Treatment Line for Aluminium Cast Parts

Batch-Type Heat Treatment Lines BHL are installed where flexibility is a must. Where producing individual parts for special applications, flexible charging arrangements and the ability to handle small batches cost-effectively are essential requirements.

The Batch-Type Heat Treatment line is fully automatically operated from incoming batch to outgoing batch. All processes are controlled by the automatic control system. Recipes will be recalled for each batch acc. to the specific requirements of the individual batch and are executed automatically.

The process is accurately repeatable on each furnace, because they are of the same design and performance and the recipes can be applied to all of them acc. to the production requirements.

All process steps and process data are recorded for later documentation and analysis.

The heat treatment lines are expandable by additional furnaces and so easily can be adapted to increasing production demands.

Processes for heat treatment of Aluminium cast parts:

• Solution Annealing
• Quenching with water, Polymer or air
• Age Hardening

Specific benefits:

• Handling of single or stacked charge trays
• Geometry considerably flexible
• High temperature accuracy
• Handling of carriers with different geometry
• High reproducibility of heat treatment results
• Transport of parts without rack
• Natural gas firing or electric heating system
• Easy connecting to existing logistics
• Fully automatic heat treatment process including charging
• Plant is easily expandable
• Individual recording of the processing for each part
