Roller Hearth Furnace

Electric / Resistance Furnaces
The Roller Hearth Furnace is a high-performance industrial furnace engineered for continuous or segmented heat treatment processes. It uses heavy-duty steel or alloy rollers to convey workpieces through multiple controlled heating, soaking, and cooling zones. This advanced system is ideal for high-volume production environments requiring uniform temperature, precision control, and energy efficiency.
  • Free combination on demand to meet various working conditions

Features and Advantages.

  • Heavy Load Capacity & High Throughput

    Capable of handling long, heavy, or large-dimension workpieces (such as tubes, bars, plates, and trays). The robust roller system ensures stable transport, and reversible or oscillating movement prevents material deformation.

  • Versatile Heat Treatment Capabilities

    Supports various processes including annealing, normalizing, quenching and tempering, brazing, carburizing, stress relieving, and reheating. Each furnace can be customized with dedicated temperature zones and controlled atmospheres.

  • Flexible Heating Options

    Available with electric resistance heating, direct or indirect gas firing. The furnace can be sealed and equipped with atmosphere control systems for inert gas or carburizing environments.

  • Customizable Cooling Systems

    Integrated options include forced air cooling, gas jet cooling, water or oil quenching, and step-down staged cooling. The cooling design is tailored to the product’s metallurgical and dimensional stability requirements.

  • Automation & Energy Efficiency

    Equipped with automatic loading/unloading systems, atmosphere seals, temperature profiling, and SCADA-based remote monitoring. Advanced combustion technologies (e.g., Yinuo’s pulse firing system) deliver up to 50% energy savings.​

Applications.

  • The Roller Hearth Furnace is widely used across multiple industries:

  • Steel and alloy processing

    Tubes, rods, billets, plates
