About Bell Shuttle Furnace
Bell Shuttle Furnace manufactured by United Enterprises is a high-productivity batch annealing system where a movable heating bell shuttles between multiple loading bases, allowing parallel loading, heating and cooling cycles.
Brief Description:
In a bell shuttle arrangement, one bell efficiently serves two or more bases while one base is being heated under the bell, others can be loaded with fresh charge or left to cool under cooling hoods. This significantly improves utilisation and throughput compared to single-base bell furnaces.
We design bell shuttle furnaces with rail-mounted bells, hydraulic or motorised travel, and tight seals between bell and base. Controlled atmosphere is supplied via our own Ammonia Cracker, Hydrogen Generator or Nitrogen Generator.
Each bell shuttle furnace is engineered for the customers coil weight, base spacing and shop floor layout.
Characteristics:
- Movable bell serving multiple stationary bases
- Maximum temperature up to 1080C
- Available in electric and recuperative gas-fired versions
- Cracked ammonia / hydrogen / nitrogen atmosphere
- Outstanding seal between bell and base
- Improved utilisation and throughput
- Rail-mounted bell with motorised travel
- PLC and SCADA-based control

FAQs:
Q: How much throughput gain over single-base?
A: Significant one bell serving two or three bases roughly multiplies productivity, since heating, loading and cooling happen in parallel.
Q: Can existing bell furnaces be converted to shuttle?
A: In many cases yes, with additional bases, cooling hoods and bell travel arrangement.
Q: Do you supply pure hydrogen versions?
A: Yes. With our Hydrogen Gas Generator, 100% H shuttle bell furnaces are supplied for premium CR strip applications.
