NITREX METAL

Turnkey NXH HORIZONTAL SERIES

Turnkey NXH HORIZONTAL SERIES

The heavy-duty NXH front-loading gas nitriding/nitrocarburizing furnaces provide flexibility for a wide range of applications. The specially-designed retort furnace and heating elements guarantee many years of reliable service. Other product innovations provide a faster load heating rate, excellent temperature, and nitriding uniformity.

Deploying multiple controlled heating zones ensures optimal temperature uniformity inside the retort, typically +/-5°C (9°F) or better. NXH 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
• Intensive atmosphere circulation ensures 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 system
• Possibility of outfitting larger size furnaces with ‘Turbo’ cooler to significantly reduce the load cooling time. This option is ideal when productivity is a major issue.
• Minimal maintenance
• Preconfigured and factory-tested
• Pretested for metallurgical results
