ELTERMA Supplies Pit Carburizing Furnaces throughout Europe

Romania

ELTERMA commissioned a pit furnace for carburizing in May 2007. The PGGAT – 1000/15x23 furnace is an addition to a complete technological line that was delivered and started up by ELTERMA in 2004. This is the third furnace purchased by this client, a manufacturer of aircraft subassemblies, specifically transmission gears, with plants located in Belgium and Romania.

The furnace is heated with a recuperative burner system for maximum fuel efficiency. The system utilizes a flexible cooling system that allows both gradual and step-down cooling to provide the appropriate profile for carburising (carburizing). The furnace is rated for loads up 6,000 kg, 1500 mm in diameter, and 2300 mm high. The furnace was tested after start-up and has met both AMS2750 and Nadcap requirements.
