About Rocking/Oscillating Motion Ovens and Furnaces

The hearth is mechanically adjusted at regular intervals with varying amplitudes and frequencies–depending on application requirements. Generally speaking, rocking furnaces are electrically heated and feature a cylindrical, or tube, hearth that is rolled back and forth in a mechanical cradle. Users program the oscillation as a figure of cycles per unit of time (Hz). If you need to operate the furnace continuously for long periods, an endless frequency can be specified. 

Did you know that Deltech designs and manufactures custom furnaces featuring rocking and oscillating motion? These are used in such applications as melting and “stirring” glass in ampoules and then rapidly quenching the ampoules. Nuclear waste containment research is one of the many processes for which these units can be used.
