Pusher furnace
A pusher furnace is a continuous furnace concept that allows the processing of small and large products in trays and baskets. The hearth consists of a series of steel, alloy, or ceramic skid type supports. … Furnaces of this type can heat workpieces within a wide temperature range (400°–1400°C).
Pusher Furnaces are manufactured by Heat Master International are fully automatic incorporate several innovative and unique features and are designed to offer maximum flexibility, high reproducibility, lower energy costs, and greater uptime, and can be customized to meet your exact heat treatment and processing requirements.
- Ability to handle variable production rates and simultaneously process large number of different parts.
- Pusher furnaces are always tailor made and designed depending on the production requirement, type of components and type of process required, space availability etc.
- Heating System can be Electrically open coil heated type or Gas Fired type
- Gas used for heating and process can be LPG/Propane/Natural Gas.
- Available with Free and/or Press quenching Capabilities.
- Available in a variety of control platform providing totally automatic operation with controlling, tracking, data monitoring and acquisition capability.
- Furnace atmosphere possible: With Endogas and LPG/Propane/Natural gas and With Methanol + Nitrogen and LPG/Propane/Natural gas.
- Compact, Robust, Fail-Safe & Space Saving Design with state-of-the-art technology.
- Recirculation and not agitation leads to uniform distribution of temperature and protective atmosphere leading to best-in-class repeatability.
- Single and Multi-row as well as single and multi-chamber design available offering high flexibility.
- Furnace shell equipped with light weight and low heat retaining insulation and provided with silicon carbide segmented skids on hearth minimizing heat loss and low skin temperature.
- All Pusher mechanisms dedicated for heavy loads.
- Can be designed with floor mounted quenching oil and washing machine tanks eliminating costly civil work for pits.
- High operational safety and easy to operate and maintain.
- Compact, Robust, Fail-Safe & Space Saving Design with state-of-the-art technology.

Normally, Pusher Furnaces are used for thermochemical heat treatment of parts suited for high volumes and less product variety and mix to carry out operations like carburizing and hardening, Annealing, Stress Relieving, Solution Treating and Ageing and the wide parts spectrum which can be processed covers Automotive Components of all kinds, mostly Transmission and Axle components. Gear Components, Shafts, Castings, Drive train components, forgings and engine components, etc.
