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
