Electric inert-atmosphere furnace
No. 989 from Grieve is an electrically heated, 2000F (1100C) inert- atmosphere furnace that is used to process fabricated parts at the customer's facility. Workspace dimensions measure 30 x 48 x 30 in (762 x 1219 x 762 mm). The unit is heated via 57 kW installed in nickel-chrome wire coils support-ed by vacuum-formed ceramic fiber, while a roof-mounted, heat-resisting alloy circulating fan powered by a 2-hp (1.5-kW) motor with V-belt drive maintains the inert atmosphere for the workload. The furnace features an alloy roller rail supported by firebrick piers and the alloy loading fixture with five 200-lb (91-kg) capacity alloy shelves, with an external support roller rack to hold the loading fixture directly in front of the furnace's workspace for easy loading/unloading.
