NX Pit-Type Furnaces: The NX Turnkey Nitriding/Nitrocarburizing System

NX PIT-TYPE FURNACES
The NX Turnkey Nitriding/Nitrocarburizing

System features a selection of medium to very large
heavy-duty NX pit furnaces, a Nitrex control system,
process controller with specialized software and poten-
tial-controlled nitriding technology known as NITREG®
and its derivatives.
ADVANCED FURNACE DESIGN

The NX furnace is designed to operate in a totally
automatic fashion as part of a Nitrex turnkey nitriding
system. All phases of the process such as purging,
heating, nitriding, and cooling are accomplished in one
uninterrupted cycle. *AMS 2759/12
The retort furnace is equipped with an internal recircu- compliance optional
lation fan and a cooling air blower. A specially designed
retort and heating elements guarantee long and
reliable service. The hot gas recirculation fan provides
fast load heat-up rate and guarantees excellent tem-
perature and nitriding uniformity necessary for good PROCESS CONTROL
repeatability. The closed-loop process control enables the system
to respond automatically to the changes in nitriding
conditions that occur during the process cycle.
The furnace’s main features are:
The Nitrex process controller continuously receives
• Separate heating zones for accurate temperature
data from the furnace atmosphere sensors and ad-
control.
justs the process parameters in order to maintain the
• Light ceramic fiber insulation for fast and efficient preset value of the nitriding potential.
heating as well as cooling
The control software also includes a powerful process
• Kanthal A-1 heating elements builder menu along with troubleshooting, emergency
• Retort made of refractory alloy and calibration menus to aid the user in maintaining
• Silicone cover seal for gas tight retort and operating the nitriding installation.
• Furnace locking ring (with actuator for larger fur-
nace sizes)
• Actuated cover lifting device PROCESS TECHNOLOGY
The NITREG® family of technologies offers individually
• Easy servicing and maintenance
customized processes for different applications and
materials with desired and repeatable results.
COOLING OPTION
An accelerated cooling system is available that can sub-
stantially reduce cooling time compared to conven-
tional cooling. This results in a shorter total process
time and an improved utilization rate of the furnace. Nitreg® Potential controlled gas nitriding
