Southwick & Meister Adds Third Lucifer Furnace
July 1, 2021
Southwick & Meister, Inc., Meriden, CT, has added a third Lucifer GT box furnace to its production capabilities. As a major manufacturer of premium-quality collets, bushings, cutting tools and more, Southwick & Meister uses Lucifer's furnaces to heat treat under nitrogen atmosphere.
Model 7GT-H18 is fabricated from 10 gauge sheet steel reinforced with structural steel members continuously welded to form a solid shell for operation with a positive flow of inert atmosphere. The 9" H x 12" W x 18" L chamber is lined with 5" of a combination of lightweight firebrick hotface backed with coldface mineral wool for energy efficient operation and low outside shell temperature.
Powered with 9.5 kW and heating to 2,100 °F, the furnace heats by heavy-gauge coiled wire elements supported in high temperature cast monolithic holders that are easily replaced. A 1" thick cast hearth plate protects floor brick and supports the work load. Temperature is regulated with a Honeywell DC2500 digital controller. Add-on features include an Overtemperature Safety System for unattended operation and a seven-day timer.
