The two chambers allow for immediate tempering or drawing after quench without waiting for the hardening furnace to cool to the lower temperature required.

Controls: Both chambers are equipped with their own electronic control, thermocouples and solid state relays. Auto tuning microprocessor based controls are accurate to ± 1/4 of 1%. Each chamber is equipped with door safety switches that remove power from that chambers heating elements and fan blower.

Heating Elements: Alloy wire elements are coiled and mounted on the side walls in easy to change porcelain plates.
