FH® Long-Lasting Metal Mesh Screens for Continuous Production

How much does the Heat Treatment Baskets | FH® affect the thermal efficiency?

The Heat Treatment Baskets | FH® serves as a bridge for workpiece loading and heat transfer in the furnace. Its design directly determines the utilization rate of thermal energy.

1. Improve the uniformity of heat conduction: Using high - thermal - conductivity alloy materials and achieving a smooth surface through investment casting can maintain a uniform distribution of heat flow under a temperature difference of hundreds of degrees Celsius, significantly reducing the occurrence of hot and cold spots.
2. Reduce heat cycle losses: The patented alloy with high - temperature resistance and corrosion resistance maintains an intact structure during rapid heating/cooling cycles, reducing heat losses caused by basket deformation.
3. Increase the loading density: The structure optimized for different furnace types (chamber, pusher, vacuum, pit, bell - type) allows more workpieces to be accommodated in a single heating process, thereby increasing the heat treatment production capacity per unit time.
4.Energy saving and consumption reduction: Experimental data shows that after using high - efficiency Heat Treatment Baskets | FH®, the overall energy consumption can be reduced by about 8%–12%, especially on large - scale continuous production lines.

How to reduce the risk of workpiece deformation when using Heat Treatment Baskets | FH®?

Workpieces are prone to deformation in high - temperature environments due to uneven support or concentrated thermal stress. A reasonable basket design is the key.

1.Precise size and layout of support points: Through three - dimensional laser detection, ensure that the spacing between the internal support blocks of the basket is controlled below 200 mm, ensuring uniform force on the workpiece and significantly reducing the risk of warping.
2.High - rigidity structure and embedded reinforcement ribs: Using reinforcement ribs and intelligent release joints to improve the overall rigidity of the basket and prevent small displacements during heat cycles.
3.Adjustable tray system: The height and tilt angle of the tray can be flexibly adjusted according to the shape of the workpiece to avoid plastic deformation caused by local pressure.
4.Thermal cycle monitoring and real - time feedback: Cooperating with the FMS intelligent heat treatment management system, closed - loop control of temperature and heating/cooling rates is carried out to ensure that the thermal stress is within a safe range.

How does the heat treatment basket of Wuxi Junteng Fanghu Alloy Technology Co., Ltd. integrate into the automated production line?

On modern continuous heat treatment production lines, the fast and reliable integration of Heat Treatment Baskets | FH® is a key link to achieve efficient automation.

1.Modular quick replacement: The basket uses standardized interfaces and can be docked with conveying and loading manipulators within tens of seconds, significantly reducing the line - change time.
2.Collaboration with robotic arms: Positioning holes are reserved on the surface of the basket, and the vision - guided robotic arm can achieve precise grasping and placement, ensuring that the loading position of each workpiece is consistent.
3.Data interconnection: RFID/sensors are embedded inside the basket to achieve real - time tracking of workpiece batches and temperature history. The data is directly uploaded to the factory - level FMS system for production monitoring.
4.Compatibility with multiple furnace types: Whether it is a chamber, vacuum, or salt - bath furnace, the basket can be quickly adapted through adjustable brackets to meet the automation requirements of different processes.
