About Hood Furnace
Hood Furnace manufactured by United Enterprises is an ideal and highly versatile solution for normalizing, annealing, stress relieving and tempering of large steel components such as heavy forgings, castings, bars and sheets.
Brief Description:
We manufacture and export best-in-class Hood Furnaces for flexible and efficient heat treatment of heavy parts. This innovative design is a superior alternative to traditional pit or bogie hearth (car-bottom) furnaces, where moving the massive load is impractical or costly.
In a Hood Furnace, the load remains stationary while a heating hood is lowered over it. One hood can service multiple stationary bases kept ready loaded with charge for continuous batch processing and optimal shop floor utilisation. The unit is offered in electric and recuperative gas-fired versions.
Each hood furnace is engineered around the customers component weight, dimensions and target temperature.
Characteristics:
- Maximum temperature up to 1050C
- Available in electric and recuperative gas-fired versions
- Same hood services multiple stationary bases
- Low-density high-quality insulation to retain heat
- Outstanding seal between hood and base
- Ideal alternative to pit and car-bottom furnaces
- Suitable for heavy forgings, castings and large sheets
- PLC and SCADA-based control

FAQs:
Q: Hood furnace vs car-bottom furnace?
A: In a hood furnace, the hood moves over a stationary load. In a car-bottom furnace, the load on a bogie moves into a stationary furnace. Hood design suits very heavy or fragile loads.
Q: How many bases per hood are typical?
A: Two to three bases per hood are common, depending on cycle time and loading/cooling balance.
Q: Can it be revamped from a bogie furnace?
A: Often yes the existing chamber can sometimes be retained with a new hood mechanism added. We assess case by case.
