A tunnel furnace is built around several basic components. The conveyor system, heating elements, and customization options decide how well the furnace fits a given process.

 

Conveyor belts

Common belt materials include stainless steel mesh belts, Teflon mesh belts, Teflon cloth belts, stainless steel chain plate belts, stainless steel belt types, and PVC belt types. Each material has its own characteristics. The choice affects material handling, the range of applications, and overall performance.

 

Heating elements

Heating options include stainless steel heating tubes, resistance wire, quartz tubes, infrared heating tubes, heating plates, and steam heating. These elements are designed for efficient, even heating, so material receives sufficient heat treatment as it moves through the tunnel.

Customization

Users can choose configurations to match a specific process. Non-standard customization is available. Whether the requirement involves size, power, material, or special functions, Hansheng Automation can discuss the details and deliver a solution that fits. We also machine custom conveyor components, fixtures, and heat-resistant parts from customer drawings, in single pieces or small batches.

 

Summary

The basic configuration of a tunnel furnace covers conveyor belts, heating elements, and customization services. Together they form an efficient, reliable heating solution.

Beyond the applications above, our precision component customization covers more than one industry. We machine medical device parts, printing machinery parts, food machinery parts, yacht precision components, RC car precision components, filling machinery parts, and tobacco packaging machinery parts. Hansheng Automation works from customer drawings and delivers one-off or batch parts to the required material, tolerance, and surface finish. Our scope is precision components, not complete machines.
