Turnkey NX PIT-TYPE SERIES

Turnkey NX PIT-TYPE SERIES

There’s a good reason why the heavy-duty NX Pit is the flagship of our range of nitriding/nitrocarburizing furnaces. Its innovative design incorporates multiple controlled heating zones that ensure optimal temperature uniformity inside the retort, typically +/-5 °C (9 °F) or better. NX furnaces are designed for fast heating rates and uniform temperature throughout the load.

Features & Benefits

• Inconel 600 (refractory steel) retort and racking for long service life and non-reactive interaction with nitriding atmosphere
• Uniform temperature distribution obtained through independently controlled heating zones and intensive atmosphere circulation ensuring full control of nitriding potential throughout all stages of the process
• Light ceramic fiber insulation reduces heat loss and thus energy consumption
• Kanthal long-lasting heating elements
• Integrated cooling systems
• Larger furnaces may be equipped with a ‘Turbo’ cooler for accelerated load cooling. This option is used where productivity is a major issue.
• Preconfigured and factory tested
• Pretested for metallurgical results
• Fully automated operation guarantees repeatable and consistent results
• True Nitriding/Nitrocarburizing Process Control – Compliant with AMS 2759/10 and AMS 2759/12 standards
• Superior case properties per customer specifications
• Various case configurations possible
• Repetition of results
• System for data archiving and reporting as well as remote diagnostics
• SCADA connectivity
• Clean, environmentally-friendly processes powered by Nitrex effluent neutralizers
