Push Rod Furnace

Push Rod Furnace Introduction

Push rod furnace or Pusher furnace refers to a furnace that uses a pusher to periodically push furnace materials or trays placed on the track into or out of the furnace.

Push rod furnace is widely used in aluminum alloy solid solution and aging heat treatment, mainly for large-scale solid solution heat treatment of aluminum alloy castings such as aluminum wheels, aluminum alloy boxes, aluminum alloy cylinders, aluminum alloy pistons, aluminum alloy electric frames, etc. for automobiles, airplanes, high-speed railways, trains, ships, etc. These fields have high performance requirements for aluminum alloy materials, and their strength and corrosion resistance can be improved through solution treatment.

Main features of push rod furnace

Efficient automation: The push rod furnace is controlled by PLC programmable logic to achieve high automation, reduce manual operations, and improve production efficiency.

Accurate temperature control: Advanced temperature control system is adopted to ensure the uniformity and stability of the temperature inside the furnace, meeting the precise requirements of heat treatment.

Rapid cooling: Equipped with an efficient cooling system, it can quickly cool the workpiece to room temperature and shorten the production cycle.

Energy saving and environmental protection: using resistance heating technology and circulating air cooling technology to meet environmental requirements.

Widely applicable: Suitable for various types of aluminum alloy materials, with low material requirements.

Working principle of push rod aluminum alloy rapid solid solution furnace：

The working principle of the push rod aluminum alloy rapid solution furnace is relatively simple and efficient. The equipment mainly consists of a furnace body, a hydraulic station push rod, a material frame, a discharge platform, a quenching tank, a lifting mechanism, a hydraulic station, and an electronic control system.

During operation, the product is lifted and placed on the drum in front of the furnace mouth, and then sequentially pushed into the furnace for heating by hydraulic cylinders. Multiple aluminum products with material frames can be placed inside the furnace. When the heating time is reached, the front and rear furnace doors will open simultaneously. The material frame at the back of the furnace will automatically roll onto the quenching material rack at the outlet through power transmission, and quickly enter the water for quenching. The oil cylinder at the front feeding end will automatically push one material frame into the furnace for heating. This cycle repeats to complete the heat treatment process.
