Question:What is the total equipment weight and the weight of the heaviest single component? What are the requirements for the floor load-bearing capacity of the factory building?

Detailed Answer:

A high-performance graphitization furnace requires a stable and secure "home." Clearly defining the equipment's requirements for the factory building foundation during the initial project planning stage is a prerequisite for ensuring smooth installation and long-term stable operation.

I. "Non-Standard Customization" Means Varying Weights

Our equipment is entirely customized according to customer requirements, so there is no unified weight standard. The total equipment weight and the weight of the heaviest single component (usually the furnace body or transformer) are directly related to the required furnace chamber size, maximum temperature, and configuration level.

• For Example:A small laboratory furnace might weigh only a few tons, while the total weight of a large-scale industrial production furnace could reach tens of tons or even hundreds of tons.

II. How to Determine Your Factory Building Requirements?

• Preliminary Proposal Stage:When we provide the initial equipment proposal based on your process requirements, we will also provide key data such as the estimated total equipment weight, the weight of the heaviest single component, overall dimensions, and the center of gravity position.

• Foundation Drawing:After the contract is signed and before equipment manufacturing begins, we will provide a detailedequipment foundation drawing. This drawing will clearly indicate:

  • Accurate fixing point locations for the equipment.

  • Specific requirements for the foundation's load-bearing capacity (unit: tons per square meter or kilonewtons per square meter).

  • Requirements for floor flatness.

• Factory Building Assessment:You will need to submit our foundation drawing to the factory building design unit or property management department for professional evaluation. They will assess whether the existing factory building meets the requirements or if any reinforcement work is needed.

III. Collaborative Effort

Rest assured, throughout the entire process, our technical team will actively assist you, providing all necessary data and support to ensure that your factory building conditions perfectly match the equipment requirements, laying a solid foundation for project success.
