Four. Summary of the Advantages and Disadvantages of Classification

Type

Advantage

Disadvantage

 

 

Online annealing furnace

1. High production efficiency, suitable for large-scale continuous production;

2. High energy utilization rate, energy-saving and environmentally friendly;

3. High degree of automation, reducing labor costs.

1. The equipment has a high cost.

2. It requires high integration of the production line.

3. The flexibility is low and it is difficult to adapt to multi-variety production.

 

 

Offline annealing furnace

1. The equipment has a low cost.

2. It is highly flexible and suitable for multi-variety and small-batch production.

3. It is easy to maintain and does not affect the operation of the production line.

1. Low production efficiency, intermittent processing;

2. Possible low energy utilization rate;

3. A lot of manual intervention, high labor intensity.
