Product Introduction of Gas Type Heat Treatment Furnace

What Is a Gas Type Heat Treatment Machine?

The Gas Type Heat Treatment Machine is a fully automatic heat treatment system specially designed for casting grinding balls, grinding media, liners, and wear-resistant castings.

Using natural gas or LPG as the heating source, the Gas Type Heat Treatment machine performs quenching and tempering processes to improve hardness, toughness, and wear resistance of grinding media.

Compared with electric heating systems, gas-fired heat treatment furnaces provide:

Lower operating cost
Faster heating speed
Higher production efficiency
Better energy utilization

HX series gas type automatic push-rod type heat treatment furnace for grinding balls (oil quench & tempering), with many years’ experience in design and manufacture of similar products, PLC intelligence control program, have the characteristics of safe and energy-saving, highly automation and high production efficiency. It has multi-purpose, can be widely used in casting products, and mechanical parts of oil & air quenching, annealing, tempering, etc.

The main components of the heat treatment furnace for grinding balls: burners, pressure reducing valve station, segmented furnace body, control cabinet, PLC cabinet, upender, shaker, shaking table, pushing device, delivery system, quench & temper baskets, etc.

The biggest difference between the electrical type of heat treatment furnace and gas type is the heating method changed. The burner’s brand we choose Kromshcroder, Dungs, Giuliani Anello, etc. Gas type equipment heat to the set temperature is very fast, and no electrical wear-resistant wires can save much maintenance costs.

Working Process for Heat Treatment Furnace

Quench Part: Loading grindng balls — pushing grinding balls into the furnace— preheating — heating — heat preservation —pushing grinding balls out from the furnace — quench (oil or air) —Loading grinding balls 

Temper Part: Loading (original or after quenching) grinding balls — pushing balls into temper furnace —heat —pushing balls out from furnace — Package   

Operation process: First, put high chrome grinding balls into the baskets and then put the baskets in front of the furnace workbench. Second,  use hydraulic pressure to drive the oil cylinder so that to open the furnace door, the push-rod of the oil cylinder pushes the full load baskets into the furnace, and inside the furnace,  baskets push forward one by one, then close the front door. Third, the furnace continues to heating from one section to another. The baskets in the furnace, go cross the heating area, heat preservation zone. After going through all the sections, the baskets are pushed out. Above all is the temperature process. Afterward, if doing quenching, then go to the quenching unit to do the next procedure.

Gas Type vs Electrical Type Heat Treatment Machine

Choosing between a Gas Type Heat Treatment Machine and an Electrical Type Heat Treatment Machine depends on your factory size, energy cost, and production requirements.

For large-scale grinding balls production line projects, many manufacturers prefer a gas heat treatment machine because of its lower operating cost and faster heating speed. On the other hand, an electrical heat treatment machine for grinding media offers precise temperature control and is suitable for regions with stable and affordable electricity.

If your goal is to improve efficiency in a grinding media production line, selecting the right heat treatment equipment for grinding balls can significantly affect hardness consistency, wear resistance, and production cost.

Gas Type vs Electrical Type Heat Treatment Machine

Feature Gas Type Heat Treatment Machine Electrical Type Heat Treatment Machine
Heating Source Natural gas / LPG Electricity
Operating Cost Lower for large-scale production Higher depending on electricity price
Heating Speed Faster temperature rise More stable heating process
Temperature Control Stable Higher precision
Energy Efficiency Suitable for high-volume factories Suitable for energy-stable regions
Production Capacity Ideal for medium & large grinding ball manufacturing lines Suitable for small & medium factories
Maintenance Cost Moderate Lower mechanical maintenance
Best Application High-output grinding media production plants Precision-controlled grinding ball heat treatment

Which Heat Treatment Machine Is Best for Grinding Media?

  • Choose a Gas Type Heat Treatment Machine if you operate a large grinding media production line, need lower fuel costs, and require higher production efficiency.
  • Choose an Electrical Type Heat Treatment Machine if your factory prioritizes accurate temperature control, stable metallographic performance, and lower setup complexity.

At Hexin, we provide both gas-fired heat treatment furnaces and electrical heat treatment machines for grinding balls, helping customers build efficient and reliable grinding media manufacturing systems.

Applications of Gas Heat Treatment Furnace

A Gas Heat Treatment Furnace is widely used for heat treatment of casting grinding balls, grinding cylpebs, high chrome grinding media, mill liners, crusher liners, and wear-resistant alloy castings.

In a grinding balls production line, the gas type heat treatment machine improves hardness, wear resistance, and impact toughness through efficient quenching and tempering processes.

It is commonly applied in industries such as mining, cement, metallurgy, thermal power, and wear-resistant materials manufacturing. For medium and large grinding media production lines, a gas-fired heat treatment furnace offers fast heating speed, lower operating cost, and stable heat treatment performance.

Ideal for:

  • Grinding ball manufacturing lines
  • Grinding media production plants
  • High chrome grinding media processing
  • Wear-resistant casting factories
