Aluminium Ageing Furnace

Ageing (thermal) furnaces are used to harden aluminium profiles manufactured in extrusion plants.

The temperature of the ageing furnace is between 160-225 °C in accordance with the process. Ageing furnaces do not have a standard capacity; they are designed and manufactured according to the capacities of the customers and the lengths of the profiles they produce. There are chain-based, roll-based, hot or cold trolley types according to the material transfer method.

In order to prevent the profiles from being heat-treated with thermal shock, indirect heating is done with the thermoblock applied inside the furnace.

Some varieties work with natural gas, LPG and fuel oil, depending on the type of heating. The air circulation inside the furnace can optionally be from the doors to the middle suction, from one door to the other door to the suction or variable direction. Sealed-type doors, which are supported by a door pressure system and a special lock system for security, are used.
