UPTON LIFT OFF TYPE FURNACE
ELECTRICALLY HEATED OR GAS FIRED
Upton Industries manufactures lift off bell type furnaces
in either electric or gas fired heating systems. The design
of the heating systems provide for shielding of the loads
from the detrimental effects of direct radiant heat or flame
impingement while promoting efficient uniform heating of the
loads.
ELECTRIC HEATING SYSTEMS
Electric furnaces employ various styles of resistance type
electric heaters to maintain the integrity of the furnace
atmospheres and thermal efficiencies. Heaters can be supplied
as either standard open resistance wire type, or bayonet/radiant
tube style based on the specific furnace application, intended
atmosphere and/or customer preference. SCR power controllers
with control panel door mounted diagnostics displays are standard
for Upton furnaces, with optional PLC and PC systems integration
available. Heating systems are factory prewired to meet NEC
and NFPA standards, and all equipment is factory tested prior
to shipment.
GAS FIRING SYSTEMS
Gas fired furnaces employ either direct gas firing or radiant
tube style gas firing burners to maintain the integrity of
the furnace atmospheres. Sealed burner systems can be supplied
as either standard tube firing or single end recuperative
type based upon customer preference. Solid state flame supervision
systems with panel door mounted diagnostics displays are standard
for Upton furnaces, with optional PLC and PC systems integration
available. Combustions systems are factory prepiped to meet
FM, IRI, and NFPA standards where applicable, and all equipment
is factory tested prior to shipment.
THERMAL RECIRCULATION SYSTEMS
Upton furnaces utilize alloy construction cartridge type fans
for recirculation of the furnace atmospheres, promoting close
tolerance temperature uniformities. Recirculation fans are
located within a stainless steel plenum positioned in the
top of the furnace heating chamber, integrated with the gas
firing or electric heating system, to eliminate potential
of direct heating of the workloads. Lateral sidewall ductwork
is employed for introduction of the furnace atmospheres into
the workzone beneath the workload, with recirculation and
redistribution through the fan plenum inlet.
ELECTRO/MECHANICAL TYPE LIFTING
SYSTEM
Upton lift off type furnaces employ a rigid floor loading
superstructure design with positive guides for smooth operation.
The lifting mechanism is designed with an electro/mechanical
type system utilizing ball screw actuators

CUSTOM DESIGNED AND ENGINEERED
Our in-house engineering and manufacturing allows Upton to
custom design furnaces and systems to a customers process
and specification requirements, rather than attempting to
provide to you standard to pre-design equipment, as some of
our competitors would attempt to do. Follow-up technical services
are available for all Upton thermal process systems.
Our TOTAL PACKAGE APPROACH TO
THERMAL PROCESSING will allow for
flexibility in your manufacturing increasing productivity.
