The skill of loading and unloading materials"&": choosing the right method can double your efficiency

The choice of loading and unloading methods directly affects your daily production capacity and the labor intensity of your workers. I've seen factories that, because they didn't choose the r"&"ight unloading method, could only produce one and a half furnaces a day instead of the usual three.

There are no problems with small-batch production, but it becomes slower with large-batch production. Comparison of Three Feeding and Discharging Sche"&"mes 1?? Top Discharge (Top Lifting) The furnace door is located at the top, and materials are lifted using a crane or electric hoist. The structure is simple and requires no additional lifting mechanism. Suitable for loose materials or small products. P"&"rerequisite: The workshop must be equipped with a crane with sufficient height. Disadvantage: The material basket will sway during lifting, and brittle products are easily damaged. 2?? Bottom Discharge (Bottom Lifting) The furnace bottom is designed as "&"a liftable platform. During loading, the platform is raised to a suitable height, and after processing, it rises to deliver the material. Suitable for large, heavy graphite plates or block materials. High safety, as materials are essentially not moved in "&"the air. Disadvantages: High requirements for furnace bottom sealing and lifting mechanism; hydraulic seals require regular inspection. 3?? Horizontal Flat Discharge (Side In/Out) - We Recommend The furnace door opens to the side; materials are placed o"&"n a flatcar and pushed in and pulled out via guide rails. Advantages: The most labor-saving operation for workers, no hoisting required. Suitable for long strip materials (carbon fiber tow, long rod-shaped products). For multi-layer stacking, materials"&" can be stacked on the flatcar first and then pushed in all at once. One customer switched to horizontal flat discharge, and the loading and unloading time was reduced from 40 minutes to 15 minutes.


Tooling and Fixture"&" Material

The tooling and fixtures (graphite crucible, material rack, firing plate) are all made of high-purity graphite or carbon-carbon composite material to ensure that impurities will not be released and contaminate the product at high temper"&"atures.

Experience Sharing: Don't overfill the material basket. Overfilling will lead to uneven heating and poor product consistency. It's better to fil"&"l less to ensure uniformity and a higher long-term yield.
