Despatch Industries (ITW) products

The Despatch car bottom furnace is available in gas or electric versions with temperatures up to 1800°F (1000°C) and a +/- 5°F temperature uniformity after stabilization. The car bottom furnace is designed for easy transport of heavy loads and comes equipped with pneumatically actuated car seals and electrically actuated vertical lift doors incorporating clamps to ensure a tight seal.The furnace body is constructed with heavy gauge steel reinforced external shell. Eight inches of multi-layered ceramic board insulation insulate the furnace walls, ceiling and door, minimizing heat losses. The ceramic board is preshrunk to allow for tight fitted joint construction. The base of the furnace is constructed of segmented structural steel components and fire brick insulation. The furnace has multi-zone high velocity, horizontal airflow with reversing flow and a forced air cooling capability to provide plunge cooling or maintain lower control settings.

The Despatch In-line Infrared Furnace incorporates advanced infrared thermal technology that provides extremely tight temperature uniformity. Air is passively preheated as it enters the chamber and lamps on top and bottom, along with edge heaters, effectively transfer heat up to 1000 °C (1832 °F) to the product.Our infrared systems consist of a load station, multi-zone infrared heating and cooling sections and an unload station. Despatch conveyorized infrared furnaces include a patented drop down chamber for easy maintenance, the ability to control atmosphere to reduce oxidation and closed loop temperature controls for tight uniformity. Systems are controlled by an industrial PC and contain a custom Despatch furnace control application with an easy-to-use graphical user interface.
