Short Time Cycle Furnaces/Ultimate Batch Furnace
![]() |
Available though a license agreement with Daido Steel, the STC™ (Short Time Cycle) furnace is a roller hearth batch furnace that performs an impressive variety of annealing processes. The furnace can be automated to charge and discharge without the assistance of operators, and it can process wire and rod coil, pipe, bar stock, and parts for cold forgings.
The STC™ offers many advantages over typical batch furnaces, such as:
- Superior temperature uniformity
- 40% fuel savings
- Shorter heating cycles by up to 20%
- Significantly better product quality
- No decarburization
- No reprocessing
- Less than 1% product variability
