Why Use a Mesh Belt Furnace for Screw Heat Treatment

Dec. 17, 2025

The selection of a belt furnace for the heat treatment of screws is mainly based on its comprehensive advantages in terms of heating efficiency, temperature uniformity, process flexibility, automation level, energy conservation and environmental protection, as well as applicability. These features can well meet the high-quality and high-efficiency requirements of screw heat treatment. The following is an analysis of the specific reasons:

1. Efficient heating method and uniform temperature distribution

The belt furnace uses electric heating, and quickly heats the workpiece through heat convection. The heating speed is fast and the efficiency is high.

The belt design enables the screws to move continuously in the furnace, ensuring that each screw stays in the heating area for the same amount of time, and the temperature distribution is uniform, thus ensuring the consistency of the heat treatment quality.

2. Continuous production, improving production efficiency

The belt furnace is a continuous heat treatment equipment. Screws are conveyed into the furnace through the belt, achieving continuous heating, quenching, tempering and other processes, without frequent loading and unloading of workpieces, significantly shortening the production cycle.

3. Precise process control

The belt furnace is equipped with advanced temperature control systems (such as PID control), which can precisely adjust the heating temperature, holding time and cooling speed, ensuring that the heat treatment process parameters of the screws meet the design requirements.

4. High automation level, reducing manual intervention

The belt furnace can be integrated with an automated production line, achieving automatic feeding, heating, quenching, tempering and discharging of screws, reducing manual operations and lowering labor intensity.

The automatic control reduces human errors and improves production stability and product quality consistency.

5. Energy-saving and environmentally friendly, reducing operating costs

The belt furnace uses efficient insulation materials to reduce heat loss and lower energy consumption.

The continuous production mode is more energy-efficient than periodic furnaces and is suitable for long-term operation.

6. Strong adaptability, meeting diverse needs

The belt furnace can handle screws of different sizes and shapes, by adjusting the belt speed and heating parameters, it can flexibly adapt to various specifications of products.

7. Reducing oxidation and decarburization, improving surface quality

The belt furnace operates in a protective atmosphere, which can effectively reduce oxidation and decarburization on the surface of screws, maintaining surface smoothness and dimensional accuracy.

8. Compact structure, small floor space

The belt furnace adopts a horizontal design, with a compact structure and small floor space, suitable for optimizing workshop layout.

The modular design is convenient for installation, maintenance and expansion, reducing equipment investment costs.
