aboutWhat are baking furnaces and sintering furnaces?

Baking and sintering furnaces are used to turn powder into a specific shape in a metal mold and harden the materials through heating. They are commonly used for the production of ceramics and battery components. A “Baking furnace” is used for the heat treatment of ceramics and oxides, while a “Sintering furnace” is used for shaping metal powder through heat treatment. Sun Furnace Co., Ltd, a manufacturer of these furnaces, can provide custom-made furnaces that meet customers’ requirements and can also design furnaces according to US Aerospace Standards.

Features01

Continuous processing from degreasing to baking and sintering is possible.

Sun Furnace Co., Ltd can supply continuous heat treatment equipment for the degreasing process to the baking and sintering process.
They also offer automatic continuous transfer systems specifically designed and manufactured for the degreasing process. The company strives to provide the most suitable equipment to meet the customer’s space and usability requirements.

Continuous processing
Features02

Atmospheric gas can be introduced even without a muffle.

Atmosphere gas can be introduced without a muffle by welding the entire furnace casing for a gas-tight structure.
The furnace casing can be welded to create a complete gas-tight structure, allowing atmospheric gas to be introduced without the use of a muffle. This method is advantageous when a metal muffle is not feasible or when the operating temperature is too high for a muffle to be used.

without a muffle
Features03

Cost reduction can be achieved by reusing exhaust gas heat for preheating, leading to energy savings.

The atmosphere gas used in the furnace for heat treatment can be recycled to preheat the products, thus saving energy. This system is more efficient than heating from room temperature without this system.
