FR Series

Series "FR"
Static-type annealing furnace for gold and silver with digital control panel and loading tray

Our annealing furnaces are made by a tubular frame and panels with Louvres for air exchange. Tubular system makes general maintenance interventions easier. Resistence and special refractory insulating panels, with high thermal features, make up heating muffles. Special stainless steel heating chambers can resist strong temperature changes. Nozzles inside the chamber let protection gas in. A burner placed in front of the chamber avoids entrance of oxygen and improves de-oxidation. A stainless steel shovel lies inside. When metal is annealed, you just push the pale till the bottom of cooling chamber and throw it in the water tub for instantaneous cooling (or let it Lie in the cooling chamber to cool, taking some time). Treated material is recovered from the tub manually or by a pneumatic piston

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is the FR Series Annealing Furnace?

The OPDEL FR Series Annealing Furnace is a static-type annealing furnace designed for gold, silver, and other precious metals. It features a digital control panel, loading tray, and controlled atmosphere for precise heat treatment.

Q2. What materials can the FR Series process?

The FR Series is ideal for gold, silver, copper, platinum, and other non-ferrous metals used in jewelry manufacturing, refining, and metal processing.

Q3. What is the maximum operating temperature?

The FR Series operates at high temperatures suitable for annealing applications, with models designed to deliver consistent and uniform heat treatment for precious metals.

Q4. How does the cooling process work?

After annealing, the material can be immediately quenched in the integrated water tank for rapid cooling or allowed to cool naturally in the cooling chamber, depending on the required metallurgical properties.

Q5. How does the furnace prevent oxidation?

The furnace uses a Nitrogen-Hydrogen (N₂ + H₂) reducing atmosphere along with a front burner that minimizes oxygen entry, producing clean, bright, and oxidation-free metal surfaces.
