ROTARY HEARTH FURNACES

Unmatched performance with our Rotary Hearth Furnaces

NUTEC Bickley Rotary Hearth Furnaces

NUTEC Bickley's Rotary Hearth Furnaces are integrated with load/unload manipulators to feed forging cells, forming lines, or quenching systems.

Rotary Hearth Furnaces offer several advantages for the continuous heating and heat treatment of Steel and Titanium. The Rotary Hearth Furnace concept can also be provided with forced air heating and recirculation for metals such as aluminum that are heat treated or pre-heated in a forging application.

At NUTEC Bickley we provide a wide range of Rotary Hearth Furnace sizes from 5’-0 to 60’-0 diameters with a full hearth or rotary fixture to match our customers specific needs and process requirements.

In many cases these furnaces are integrated with loading and unloading Robots or custom manipulators to feed forging cells, forming lines, or quenching systems. NUTEC Bickley offers Turnkey integrated solutions.

The flexibility of the Rotary Hearth Furnace design allows for side firing, heating with flat flame style burners mounted in the roof or both if required. Higher temperature furnaces incorporate Low NOx, Recuperative and Regenerative burner technologies. The furnaces can be arranged with one door for loading and unloading or with designated loading and unloading doors as required.

All NUTEC Bickley Hearth Furnaces are designed with ease of user maintenance and incorporate schemes modular panel sections, precast hearth shapes and removable wall/roof sections for maintenance access.
