Drop Bottom Furnace

Home / Our Products / Furnaces / Drop Bottom Furnace

A Drop Bottom Furnace is a type of heat treatment furnace designed primarily for solution heat treating metals (especially aluminum alloys) where rapid quenching is required immediately after heating.

Components Breakdown

Heating Chamber: For soaking metal at precise temperatures.
Drop Bottom Door Mechanism: Opens quickly to release load.
Hoist or Elevator: Moves the load vertically into quench tank.
Quench Tank: Cooled and sometimes agitated for uniform quenching.
Control Panel: For managing temps, times, movement, and logging.

Advantages of Drop Bottom Furnace

Extremely fast quenching - ideal for materials with narrow time windows
Great temperature uniformity
Fully automated = high repeatability and safety
Supports NADCAP/AMS2750 standards for aerospace heat treatment

Applications of Drop Bottom Furnace

Aerospace parts (aluminum wing components, landing gear, etc.)
Automotive components
Heat-treated forgings
High-strength aluminum parts
