Space-Saving Furnaces

Lucifer Furnaces recently shipped five Red Devil Dual Chamber Space-Saving RD8-KHE24 models to tool rooms across North America - from Canada to Mexico. Lucifer's Red Devil economy models are built for energy efficient, high performance with customer return on investment in mind.

An upper hardening chamber, reaching 2,200° F, is stacked above a tempering oven which heats to 1,200° F. Both chambers are sized at 12" high x 14" wide x 24" long and are insulated with 4-1/2 inches of lightweight firebrick and mineral wool. The firebrick is precision dry fit with staggered seams for reduced heat loss while allowing for thermal expansion resulting in lower maintenance costs.

Long lasting low watt density heating elements in easy-to-replace sidewall panels provide uniform heating. These Red Devil models come standard with insulated horizontal swing doors with cam locks for a tight seal, and safety micro switches to shut off power when doors are opened. Vertical lift doors and over-temperature safety systems are popular options, according to the company.

Ceramic hearth plates support a workload up to 25-lb/sq ft of hearth and serve to protect the floor brick. A high volume cfm recirculating fan is mounted in the rear of the tempering oven for horizontal airflow providing uniform heat for stress relief and other applications.

The furnace and oven chambers are individually controlled with Honeywell digital time proportioning controllers mounted in a NEMA 1 panel on the side of the furnace away from the hot loading area. "A general purpose hardening furnace along with a tempering oven are essentials for tool rooms across industries in order to perform a variety of metal heat treating," said a company spokesperson.
