Salt Bath Cleaning & Stripping

Salt Bath Cleaning / Stripping Systems

Salt Bath Cleaning & StrippingUpton salt bath cleaning systems are provided in an arrangement with the molten salt bath, waste material dumping station and water washing and rinsing tanks combined within a single safety/ventilation enclosure. This system allows for operator control of the process from outside the unit and away from heat and residual fumes. Most systems are designed for use with existing material handling conveyors or monorail type hoists.

Immersion Type Cleaning

Upton molten salt bath furnaces provide for immersion type stripping and cleaning of parts which offers a faster more effective method than burn-off type ovens. The nature of molten salts allow for a total wetted contact between the part surface and salt media promoting complete cleaning in difficult areas of the part.

Process Flexibility

Upton salt bath systems can be custom designed to suit your product and thermal processing requirements. Material substrates can vary from ferrous to non-ferrous with specialized cleaning applications such as degreasing and descaling.

Custom Designed & Engineered

Salt Bath Cleaning & Stripping SystemsOur in-house engineering and manufacturing allows Upton to custom design furnaces and systems to a customers process and specification requirements, rather than attempting to provide to you standard pre-design equipment, as some of our competitors would attempt to do. Follow-up technical services are available for all Upton thermal process systems.

Our Engineered Thermal Solutions will allow for flexibility in your manufacturing productivity.

Upton Externally Heated Steel Lined Salt Bath Furnaces

Upton manufactures externally heated, inner lined salt bath furnaces designed for various applications. These furnaces can be constructed with a carbon or stainless steel pot liner materials as operating conditions warrant.

Externally Heating Method

The external heating method of these furnaces can be either electric by use of resistance type heating elements or gas fired utilizing the unique Upton “Hurricane” design which incorporates tangentially firing burners designed to minimize flame impingement to the inner pot salt containment pot. Combustion systems can be FM or IRI rated.

Upton Externally Heated Salt Bath Furnace Applications

Upton externally heated salt bath furnaces can be employed for service in a variety of high and low temperature, ferrous and non-ferrous thermal processing such as tempering, case hardening, caustic bath cleaning, paint stripping, solution treating of aluminum and vinyl/plastic curing. Externally heated furnace operation is ideally suited for intermittent service duties.

Upton manufactures internally heated, metallic inner lined salt bath furnaces designed for use with non-chloride based salt applications. These furnaces can be constructed from carbon or stainless steel materials as operating conditions warrant.

Immersion Heating Method

The immersion heating method of these furnaces can be electric by use of immersion heaters for lower temperature applications, or electrodes/transformer operation as either air or water cooled at elevated temperatures. Gas fired units employ FM or IRI type radiant tube firing.
