Walking Beam Features
Walking beam furnaces, due to their material transport mechanism, allow for better heating uniformity, gentle handling, and the ability to process heavy or large parts. A walking beam furnace uses a reciprocating lift-and-carry system to move material, unlike traditional conveyor furnaces that continuously drag or roll it.
