Die Company Adds Capacity with Dual Chamber Furnace
September 1, 2016
Century Die Company, LLC, a blow mold specialist in Fremont, OH, has added to its heat treating capability with a Lucifer Red Devil single chamber furnace. Model RD7-H21 has a working chamber size of 9" H x 12" L by 21" D and heats to 2,200 °F. Energy efficient lightweight firebrick lines the chamber with mineral wool backup insulation, while easy-to-replace heating elements for uniform radiation are situated along both side walls.
The Red Devil box furnace series comes standard with a horizontal swing door and safety microswitch as well as a ceramic hearth plate to support the workload and protect the floor brick insulation. Century Die chose to accessorize its furnace with a base stand to bring the hearth height to 30". The upgraded Honeywell UDC 2500 controller allows programming up to 12 segments. An additional soak timer with alarm contact alerts the operator when heat treating is complete.
Century Die plans on hedging the higher customer demands and increasingly shorter lead-times by keeping the overnight, and sometimes same day, heat treat requirements in-house. Many of its customers are running a 24/7 operation and cannot allow excessive downtime.
In addition to being a supplier of blow, compression, and thermoform mold tooling for plastic packaging and components used for detergents, beverages, automotive products and industrial tools, Century Die is also a major repair and refurbishment facility for this type of tooling.
