Tips & Tricks To Maintain An Industrial Furnaces

by Anuradha Gokhale Marketing

Everyone knows that the maintenance of an industrial furnace is important for product longevity and performance. Preventative maintenance of heat-treating furnaces is crucial. This can prolong the overall lifespan of your equipment as well as minimize the possibility of debilitating downtime.

Having the essential spare parts in stock, detailed furnace and circuit drawings, and the right tools on hand are essential to minimizing downtime. Support by the plant engineering staff, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is often necessary.

Always refer to the user’s manual for your heat treatment furnaces when performing maintenance and repairs, and call the manufacturer if you have further questions or concerns about how your equipment is running.

The most important part of preventative maintenance is regularly scheduled thorough inspections of the heat treating equipment. Inspections can catch small issues before they become major problems with expensive solutions.

Keeping the industrial furnace and control panel clean before cleaning turns off the equipment.

Lubricate fan shaft bearings with high-temp lithium grease every three months.

Inspect the fan belt regularly and replace if it looks cracked or worn. And obviously, never exceed the maximum operating temperature of the industrial furnace.

Regularly inspecting the door seal will prevent heat and energy loss that can be quite costly if such loss goes unnoticed.

Use Correct Power: Operating the device on low power can affect the performance of the device hence it is always used with the high power and never plug the device in the low power socket.

Consider The Location Of The Oven: The physical location of the oven determines the airflow of the device. If the path of the air inlets and outlets is restricted, it will directly affect the whole airflow throughout the device.

Check Your Heating Elements periodically like amperage check of elements. Always remember is that power must be disconnected from the furnace before replacing the heating elements.
