An Ordinary Well Furnace, also known as a Well Type Furnace or Pit Furnace, is a vertical industrial heating furnace designed for the heat treatment, heating, annealing, tempering, normalizing, and stress relieving of metal components.

Unlike horizontal chamber furnaces, the workpieces are loaded vertically from the top into a deep furnace chamber. This structure is especially suitable for long shafts, rods, tubes, pipes, gears, dies, forgings, and other heavy components.

Key Features of Dingfeng Ordinary Well Furnace

1. Vertical Well-Type Structure

The deep furnace chamber allows workpieces to be loaded vertically from the top. This makes the furnace particularly suitable for components with a large length-to-diameter ratio.

Typical workpieces include:

Shafts

Rods

Tubes

Pipes

Rollers

Gears

Dies

Large forgings

2. Uniform Heating

Heating elements can be arranged around the furnace chamber to provide balanced heat distribution. For larger equipment, Dingfeng can configure multiple independent temperature zones to improve temperature uniformity.

3. Reliable Temperature Control

The furnace can be equipped with digital temperature controllers or PLC systems for precise control of:

Heating temperature

Heating rate

Holding time

Temperature zones

Process cycles

Over-temperature protection

4. Energy-Efficient Insulation

High-quality refractory materials and ceramic fiber insulation can be selected according to the operating temperature and furnace structure.

The insulation system helps reduce heat loss and improve overall thermal efficiency.

5. Flexible Loading System

Workpieces can be loaded using overhead cranes, lifting devices, baskets, or customized fixtures. The loading system can be designed according to workpiece size and weight.

6. Customized Furnace Design

Dingfeng can customize the furnace according to:

Furnace diameter

Furnace depth

Loading capacity

Maximum workpiece dimensions

Operating temperature

Heating power

Temperature zones

Heating method

Control requirements
