Annealing Conveyor Furnace

Home / Our Products / Furnaces / Annealing Conveyor Furnace

An Annealing Conveyor Furnace is a type of continuous furnace used for the softening, stress relieving, and refining of metals. It operates using a conveyor system to transport metal parts through different heating and cooling zones, ensuring consistent annealing for high-volume production. These furnaces are widely used in automotive, aerospace, electrical, and metalworking industries for processing steel, copper, aluminum, brass, and stainless steel components.

How an Annealing Conveyor Furnace Works

Material Loading - Metal parts or strips are placed on the moving conveyor belt, roller hearth, or mesh belt.
Heating Zone - The metal is gradually heated to the annealing temperature (600-1200_oC) to alter its internal structure.
Soaking Zone - The metal is held at this temperature for a precise duration to ensure uniform softening.
Cooling Zone - The material undergoes slow cooling (for stress relief) or rapid quenching depending on the desired properties.
Unloading & Post-Processing - The annealed metal is collected and may undergo further machining, coating, or forming.

Key Features of Annealing Conveyor Furnaces

Continuous Processing - Ideal for high-volume production with minimal downtime.
Precise Temperature Control - Ensures uniform heating and cooling across all parts.
Controlled Atmosphere Options - Can use nitrogen, hydrogen, or argon to prevent oxidation (bright annealing).
Customizable Belt Speed & Heating Profiles - Adapts to different metal grades and applications.
Energy-Efficient Design - Uses recuperative burners, electric resistance heating, or induction heating to reduce costs.
Automated PLC & SCADA Control - Provides real-time monitoring and process optimization.

Applications of Annealing Conveyor Furnaces

Steel & Alloy Processing - Annealing of cold-rolled steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel.
Automotive Industry - Heat treatment of gears, shafts, bearings, engine components.
Electrical & Electronics - Annealing of copper wires, transformer cores, silicon steel sheets.
Aerospace & Defense - Processing of aircraft-grade aluminum and titanium alloys.
Tube & Pipe Manufacturing - Softening of stainless steel, nickel alloys, and brass tubes.

Advantages of Annealing Conveyor Furnaces

Higher Productivity - Ideal for mass production with continuous operation.
Consistent Heat Treatment - Ensures uniform metallurgical properties.
Oxidation-Free Processing (Bright Annealing) - Uses inert gases for clean, high-quality surfaces.
Fully Automated Operation - Reduces manual labor and ensures repeatability.
Cost-Effective & Energy-Efficient - Low fuel/electricity consumption with high throughput.
