NOTICE: PHYSICAL INVENTORY CLOSURE 
At Abbott Furnace Company, we take pride in delivering high-performance thermal processing systems tailored to the specific needs of our customers. One of our most recent successes was the design and manufacture of a custom roller hearth furnace—engineered for precision, reliability, and high-volume throughput.
Built for Demanding Applications
Roller hearth furnaces are ideal for continuous, high-production operations and are particularly effective for applications requiring:
- Long part lengths
- Heavy load capacities
- Consistent heat treatment performance
Reversible or oscillating conveyance drives
This system was designed to handle complex, multi-step processing, with features that allow for smooth transitions between in-line process chambers. Isolation doors and purge chambers ensure atmosphere integrity and minimize contamination risks.
Key Features of the System
The recently completed roller hearth furnace includes:
🔥 Heating Options
- Gas-fired or resistance heating element systems
- Firebrick and/or ceramic fiber insulation
- Compatible with a variety of protective and process gas atmospheres
❄️ Cooling Capabilities
- Controlled ramp slow cooling
- Varicool jet cooler
- Recirculated gas cooling
- Water-spray and dunk quench systems
- Custom combination cooling systems to match process needs
⚙️ Integrated Automation
- Automated loading/unloading systems
- Transfer conveyors for precise tray positioning
- Synchronized operations for seamless, automated handling
🧪 Advanced Atmosphere Control
- Designed for use with cryogenic or generated atmospheres
- Optional dryer atmosphere systems
- Real-time monitoring and adjustment for process accuracy
💻 Smart Control System
- User-friendly interface
- Built-in data collection and process tracking software
- Easy integration with plant-level control systems
Applications
Roller hearth furnaces are commonly used for:
- Annealing
- Normalizing
- Stress relief
- Hardening and tempering
- Reheat and brazing
- Multi-zone or multi-chamber thermal processes
This particular system was built for a customer in need of uniform heating and cooling, tight atmosphere control, and high daily part throughput—and we’re proud to say it exceeded expectations.
