Steel Belt Furnace

Description

The steel belt furnace is a continuous high-temperature processing system engineered for the reduction of metal powders such as iron (Fe), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), tungsten (W), and molybdenum (Mo). It is also well-suited for the calcination of metal salts, including cobalt formate and ammonium paratungstate (APT), making it a versatile solution for applications in powder metallurgy, battery materials, and advanced chemical processing.

Utilizing a robust steel belt conveyor, the furnace ensures uniform heating and consistent product transport through controlled thermal zones. The design enables precise regulation of temperature, atmosphere, and residence time—critical factors for achieving high-purity reduction and uniform particle characteristics.

Engineered for continuous production with low energy consumption, the furnace supports reducing atmospheres such as hydrogen or nitrogen-hydrogen mixtures. Its corrosion-resistant construction and automated operation make it ideal for industrial environments requiring stable thermal processing of reactive or high-value materials. The steel belt furnace delivers consistent results, excellent material quality, and process scalability for demanding thermal treatment applications.
