SECO/WARWICK’s rotary retort furnaces are specifically designed for continuous production and uniform heat treating of small parts, such as coins, small hardware, nails, bearings, chain components, and fasteners, such as nuts, bolts, and screws. The rotary retort furnace is designed to improve production and maintain the consistent heat treating and quench performance required in high-performance small parts like bearings and fasteners. It provides the process flexibility to be utilized for either single or multi-application production environments and in small or large batches. SECO/WARWICK customers are choosing Rotary Retort systems to save time and money in maintenance and operating costs when evaluating the total cost of ownership compared to traditional mesh belt or batch systems. Rotary retort furnaces are used to process an exceptionally wide variety of small parts including screws, nuts, bolts, nails, washers and coins. The rotary retort furnace is particularly adaptable to controlled atmosphere hardening, carbonitriding, and carburizing operations in the range of 1,550 to 1,750˚F (840 to 955˚C). Whirl-A-Way Quench™ The Whirl-A-Way quench is a fast uniform quenching system that produces deeper case depths.The Whirl-A-Way quench is designed to provide superior quench results with ferrous and nonferrous parts after they have reached temperature in the furnace. Parts are discharged into the quench medium seconds after temperature has been achieved and are conveyed to the rotating discharge conveyor by the motion of the quench fluid. This motion allows the vapor barrier of each part to be instantaneously wiped away, resulting in excellent quench properties.
