Item # 3352/C209     Cast Link Belt Line

This is a complete cast link belt line rated at 7000 lbs / HR.

LOADER: Loader is 84” wide x 48” deep x 42” high. This has a mechanical clamp down for the bins.
Bins can be placed in dumper. Bin is locked in Dumper 180º to dump the product in a hopper. Hopper
is plastic lined so as not to damage the fine threads on bolts.

Weight control to the furnace is by Metro weight control system. From hopper product is put on a vibratory
feeder, weighed and goes to another vibratory feeder, weighed again, and then it trickles down to washer.
On the loading system number of lbs required for loading is punched in and computer updates the files every
20 sec. to give an accurate load to the furnace.

Item # 3365/C103     Electric Furnace Co. Roller Hearth Normalizing Line:

This line, which was purchased new approximately 10 years ago was only used for a very brief period of time and is in immaculate condition! Originally sold for $2 million US it is complete and currently in indoor storage. All electric with heavy duty rolls on 9" centers it has an atmosphere cool and a temper. Uses 36" X 36" trays. 40" wide work zone, 20" high, 3-4,000 pounds/hr. Brick lined with an operating temperature of 1650F. Vendor is asking $450,000US. Complete drawings are available on request. If you are looking for a large normalizing line and are considering new I would suggest that this is a good way to save $1.5 million. By the way the company that disassembled the furnace took video tape for reassembly purposes. 

Uses a 36" x 36" tray with a 20" high door opening. A typical roller hearth cycles at a preset time and advances the load, one tray at a time, through the furnace. Based on the dimensions, the normalizing furnace should hold 13 trays at a time and the tempering furnace should hold 16 trays. If you advance the normalizing furnace every 18 minutes, you will move a tray through the furnace in about 4 hours. If you advance the tempering furnace every 15 minutes, you will move a tray through the furnace in about 4 hours.

Both the high heat and the temper have atmosphere. The high heat max temperature rating is at least 1650°F.  New Information & Pictures
