Q&AFrequently Asked Question

Is it possible to replace water-cooled pipes and cooling pipes?
The heating pipe and water cooling pipe use a unique mechanism for the connection, and each pipe can be replaced individually.
Is it possible to use heating pipes of different thicknesses (diameters) in one furnace?
Pipes with different diameters can be arranged in one furnace.
The customer is considering a prototype test, but the test conditions have not been finalized by the customers.
We will listen to your requirements and respond if our equipment is suitable. Our motto is “together” and we always start by understanding the customer’s needs. Don’t hesitate to contact us for any consultation, including exams.Consultation for exams
Is it possible to control the furnace in synchronization with the existing charge(or feeder) and discharge (or rewinder) equipment ?
The operation of heat treatment equipment can be synchronized, such as detecting a disconnection and stopping the gas supply for each pipe. We can also help you build hardware and software to enhance convenience, such as delivering other processing data (gas temperature, gas flow rate).
