Horizontal Quench
HeatTek's horizontal quench systems are designed for medium to large batch loads that require the industry's fastest quench times. We understand the importance of a well-designed quench system. It is a critical step in the heat treatment process to rapidly cool metals after they have been heated to high temperatures.
HeatTek can incorporate various media such as water, oil, air and specialized polymers. We will partner with you to determine the best approach for your desired outcome while improving energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
HeatTek can design equipment for processes that require a quick quench or an integral quench. Horizontal Quench Systems are widely used in industries like automotive and aerospace, where precise control of material properties is essential for performance and durability.
