A high-quality combustion system not only curtails energy consumption but also keeps NOx emissions to a minimum. Enhanced by strong convection circulation and a pulse combustion control system, the line rapidly heats while preserving excellent temperature uniformity within ±3℃ in both the solution and aging furnaces. Adopting continuous production mode, the process is stable with higher temperature control accuracy and better temperature uniformity. 

The cooling speed is fast. The workpiece temperature drops below 200 ℃ within 2.5 minutes, and the quenching transfer time is less than 10 seconds. Appropriate charging baskets are designed based on the shape of the workpieces to ensure minimal deformation during the heat treatment.
