The process begins in a preheating station to remove process volatiles and preheat the mold assemblies. An integral preheating station is an economical, energy efficient, and safe way to perform these functions.
A Keith preheating station can double the production capacity of your bit furnace, with a capital investment that is much lower than for a second furnace. The energy efficient design and reduced power requirements for a preheating station result in lower operating costs. When the preheating station is mechanically integrated with your bit furnace, operator safety is greatly improved when moving hot mold assemblies. These functions can be fully automatic, or an operator can perform them remotely.
