Cyclone® electric-powered pit furnaces are capable of temperatures up to 1250°F (1400°F optional). The furnaces have a separate heating/fan chamber that provides heat to the work chamber. The workload is heated by a unique re-circulating convection heating system that forces pressurized air through the load at high velocity. Cycle time is minimized by rapid heat up rates. Heavy, dense loads may be uniformly treated, maximizing throughput. Temperature uniformity is typically ± 10°F; when specific fixturing is used, ± 5°F can be attained.

Loading the Cyclone pit furnace is virtually foolproof. Because the fan and heating elements are separate from the load chamber, damage from accidental contact is eliminated. The entire work chamber is metal-lined for maximum durability.

The Cyclone is designed for convenient maintenance. Should element replacement become necessary, the frame-mounted heating unit is easily removed without disturbing the load or cooling the furnace. Simply slip in a spare and you are quickly back in operation. The fan motor is also externally accessible for easy service and replacement.
