Bell Furnace

Home / Our Products / Furnaces / Bell Furnace

A Bell Furnace is a type of batch heat treatment furnace with a removable, dome-shaped heating chamber ("bell") that is lowered over the workload placed on a stationary or movable base. These furnaces are ideal for annealing, normalizing, tempering, and bright annealing of metals, ensuring uniform heat distribution with controlled atmospheres.

Types of Bell Furnaces

Gas-Fired Bell Furnace
- Uses natural gas, LPG, or diesel for high-efficiency heating.
- Ideal for large-scale heat treatment applications.
Electric Bell Furnace
- Uses resistance heating for precise temperature control.
- Suitable for bright annealing and oxidation-sensitive processes.
Controlled Atmosphere Bell Furnace
- Uses inert gases (nitrogen, hydrogen, argon, etc.) to prevent oxidation.
- Common in stainless steel, aluminum, and special alloy processing.
High-Temperature Bell Furnace
- Designed for extreme temperatures (up to 1200^oC or more).
- Used in tool steel, aerospace, and advanced metallurgy applications.

Key Features of Roller Hearth Furnaces

Flexible Batch Processing - Suitable for small and large batch production.
Uniform Heat Distribution - Ensures consistent heating and temperature control.
Controlled Atmosphere Capability - Allows oxidation-free processing.
Movable Heating Chamber - Easy loading/unloading of workpieces.
Energy Efficient - Insulated design reduces heat loss.
Automated Temperature Control - PLC/SCADA integration for precise process monitoring.

Applications of Bell Furnaces
