Furnace Supports Annealing, Tempering, and Heat Treatment of Steel and Castings

L&L Special Furnace has announced the delivery of the second FB435 model furnace to Doncaster Precision Castings of Groton, CT, a global leader in the aerospace, industrial gas turbine, and automotive markets. This advanced furnace will bolster Doncaster's in-house annealing, tempering, and heat treatment capabilities, enhancing its production efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

The FB435 furnace from L&L Special Furnace features a maximum temperature of 1,850 °F (1,010 °C) and working dimensions of 44" width, 36" height, and 60" depth. The furnace operates in an air atmosphere, equipped with a vertical counterbalanced pneumatic door, and an 18" diameter cast alloy fan. Its cooling system is powered by an automated ventilation system with a 600 CFM venturi air mover, enabling efficient and uniform cooling.

The 6 Zone SSR Control with digital biasing allows for easy balance of temperature gradients. Advanced control and safety features include Honeywell process controllers and a NEMA12 industrial control panel with fused disconnect. The flat castable hearth and robust stack light audible visual annunciator system provide optimized operational functionality.

The furnace's capacity to handle a typical load weight of 2,000 pounds reinforces its suitability for heavy-duty industrial processes within the aerospace and automotive sectors.
