Wisconsin Oven Corp. shipped a horizontal solution-treat system with a chiller to a manufacturer in the aerospace industry. The electrically heated system has a maximum oven operating temperature of 1100°F and work-zone dimensions of 12 feet, 3 inches wide x 3 feet, 11 inches long x 4 feet, 6 inches high. It was designed to heat a 2,840-pound gross load consisting of a mixture of aluminum and steel to 1000°F, provide a soak at temperature and then quickly move the load into a quench tank. A hydraulically operated load/unload system lowers and raises the load for quenching.

Wisconsin Oven Corp. shipped an electrically heated horizontal quench system to an aluminum casting company. The system will be used for solution treating aluminum castings for the aerospace and automotive industries. The solution-treating furnace is designed to heat a 2,500-pound load of aluminum, plus basket and work grid, to an operating temperature of 1020°F. The maximum temperature rating for this system is 1250°F, sized for a 5-foot-wide x 5-foot-long x 5-foot-high basket.

Wisconsin Oven Corp. shipped two electrically heated horizontal quench systems to an aluminum manufacturer. The systems are designed for the solution treatment of aluminum. Each system is designed to heat 1,000 pounds of aluminum to a 950°F operating temperature. Once the loads are heated to the operating temperature, they will soak at temperature and then be rapidly lowered into the quench tank in less than 10 seconds from the time the door starts to open until the load is fully submerged.
