SECO/WARWICK Rotary Retort Furnace Systems for Fast, Economical, Uniform Heat Treating of Small Parts

SECO/WARWICK has updated their RR-180.2 product brochure that describes rotary retort furnace systems, designed to maintain the consistently superior quench hardening performance required for fast, economical uniform heat treatment of small parts.  (Click here for the .pdf version of this brochure.)

Why Rotary Retort?

No seals or bearings in hot areas or at the
discharge end

This furnace is unique in the industry because it is equipped with a cantilevered, one piece cast retort support at one end and sealed at the charge end of the furnace.

Superior Material Handling

The internal flights conveyance through the furnace retort, and the pressurized fluid-conveyance through the quench bath minimizes lost, mixed or damaged parts.

Whirl-A-Way® Quench

The Whirl-A-Way system is designed to prevent atmosphere contamination in the furnace.  The system is capable of handling a wide variety of part configurations while constantly maintaining individual quench results, providing both deeper case depths and uniformity.
