It provides the process flexibility to\u00a0be\u00a0utilized for either single or\u00a0multi-application production environments and in\u00a0small or\u00a0large batches. SECO\/WARWICK customers are choosing Rotary Retort systems to\u00a0save time and money on\u00a0maintenance and operating costs when evaluating the total cost of ownership compared to\u00a0traditional mesh belt or\u00a0batch systems.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_tabs module_class=&#8221;red-tabs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;margin-top: 2rem;||margin-bottom: 2rem;&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_tab title=&#8221;Overview&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Rotary retort furnaces are used to\u00a0process an exceptionally wide variety of small parts including screws, nuts, bolts, washers and coins. The rotary retort furnace is particularly adaptable to\u00a0controlled atmosphere hardening, carbonitriding, and carburizing operations in\u00a0the range of 1,550 to\u00a01,750\u02daF (840 to\u00a0955\u02daC).<\/p>\n<h3>Whirl-A-Way Quench<\/h3>\n<p>The Whirl-A-Way quench is a&nbsp;fast uniform quenching system that produces deeper case depths.The Whirl-A-Way quench is designed to&nbsp;provide superior quench results with ferrous and nonferrous parts after they have reached temperature in&nbsp;the furnace. Parts are discharged into the quench medium seconds after temperature has been achieved and are conveyed to&nbsp;the rotating discharge conveyor by&nbsp;the motion of the quench fluid. This motion allows the vapor barrier of each part to&nbsp;be&nbsp;instantaneously wiped away, resulting in&nbsp;excellent quench properties. On&nbsp;entry into the quench drum, parts are conveyed to&nbsp;the discharge point by&nbsp;the revolving motion of the drum flights. The quench fluid can be&nbsp;oil, water or&nbsp;synthetic media. The patented Whirl-A-Way system is designed to&nbsp;prevent atmosphere contamination in&nbsp;the furnace. The system is capable of handling a&nbsp;wide variety of part configurations while constantly maintaining individual quench results, providing both deeper case depths and uniformity.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=&#8221;Features&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #e31300;\">\/\u00a0<\/span>Factory Built <br \/><\/strong>All equipment is completely factory assembled, piped, wired and mechanically tested before shipment to\u00a0minimize installation time and expense.
