Bell Annealing Furnace by Therelek
Bell Annealer brings in excellent temperature uniformity, consistent quality and good production rates. Bell Furnace is suitable for black, bright and spherodized annealing of steel coils, non-ferrous strips, wires and general heat treatment processes up to 1100°C. Bright annealing of cold-rolled steel strip coils and heat treatment of medium and thick hot-rolled plate, long products and wire coils are done using a bell-type furnace.

The convection and heat transfer occurs in the base assembly. Forced atmosphere circulation is used with the help of radial fans for temperature up to 950°C to improve convection. The cooling happens when the furnace is removed with inner cover acting as a protective atmosphere. In both strip annealing and wire annealing, the convection flow goes up on the sides and down the centre.

Applications
Annealing
Bell type annealing furnace is widely used for annealing of steel coils. The coils can be of steel strips, steel wire or any other shape which can be loaded in the furnace.
Wire Annealing
Annealing involves heating the wire to a specific temperature before cooling it at a prescribed rate in order to achieve the desired result. Annealing is used with the goal of increasing the ductility of the wire and reducing the hardness. This allows the wire to be flexible while still remaining durable. With these properties, annealed wire is self-tying and can stay in place when wrapped around itself.

FAQs
What is Bell Annealing?
It is a cylindrical furnace in top hood design, that is the furnace kept on the fixed bases in the inverted position. An overhead crane of suitable capacity from one base to the another base carries the furnace itself. The Furnace shell will be of robust construction suitably reinforced with rolled sections. The furnace rests on the inner cover with ceramic fibre sealing in between. The inner cover rests on the base with neoprene seal in between for making the inner chamber gas tight.
