UPTON AUTOMATED SALT BATH FURNACE SYSTEMS

TOTAL PACKAGE APPROACH:
Upton automated salt bath systems can be custom designed with integrated multiple process capability. Precleaning, heat treating, post cleaning and part- surface finishing can be incorporated into the single automated system eliminating the requirement of additional handling and processing equipment. Finished parts can be unloaded ready for packaging and shipment.

PROCESS FLEXIBILITY
Upton manufactures PLC controlled automated salt bath furnace systems for a variety of thermal processes. These systems are custom designed to suit your specific parts, operating process and production rates. Systems are available with operator selectable; multiple programming specifically tailored to your manufactured products.

SYSTEM AUTOMATION OPTIONS
Upton offers two designs in automated material handling systems. The sidearm type Master Matic system can process loads up to 250 pounds, with the Mighty Matic bridge crane system designed for load sizes up to 4000 pounds. Both systems are floor-standing designs without attachment to plant architecture.

UPTON ROTARY TRANSFER SWING ARMS
Upton automated salt bath systems are designed with rotary swing arms for transfer of the workload from the high heat furnace to quenching bath to ensure repeatability of metallurgical process results. Closed loop electronic control of these devices allows for soft start stop capability creating transfer times as quickly as 4 seconds.

UPTON HOIST HEAT SAVERS
Bridge crane type hoists can include the Upton Heat Saver for transfer of large loads from the high heat to quenching bath. These stainless steel lined insulated enclosures retard temperature drop of the load during quench delay transfer for process repeatability.

SAFETY/ VENTILATION ENCLOSURE
All Upton automated salt bath systems are totally enclosed for operator safety and for ventilation purposes. Roller doors and panel type construction allows for access to the equipment by authorized personnel during manual operation or for maintenance purposes. This totally enclosed design allows for flexibility in system location within your plant.
