Airtorch™ Convective Heating Benefits

Airtorch™ System Introduction

Add a DPF, VTA, MVTA or LTA to your existing oven or furnace and experience the difference.

The Airtorch is a trademark of MHI Inc.

 

 

True Convective Heat Technology

We would like to introduce to you the MHI Airtorch™, one of the best power and energy efficient universal convective heat to 2200°F or more . It can be used as either a stand-alone heating device, or an integral component of a convection oven.  This makes the Airtorch™ an incredibly versatile product for you.


What Makes Airtorch™ Special?

The Airtorch™ produces convective heat to 2200°F or more without pollution (no combustion products, very little noise etc.) . Powered by electricity, it provides high efficiency over conventional gas ovens.*

What Does This Mean For Heat Treaters?

Consider the Airtorch's™ (Airtorch™ 6.5/10.5kW models) high power and superior uniformity. A batch, conveyor, or continuous pusher furnace utilizing our technology will allow (see picture below) heat treaters to process more parts faster, with substantially less part failure caused by non-uniform furnaces (see articles section).

Retrofit To Add Value And Performance

MHI recognizes that the Airtorch™ will improve the value and performance of many furnaces already in use. One can easily retrofit any existing oven structure with the Industrial Airtorch™ because of its unique design. Heat treaters can upgrade existing furnaces or use the Airtorch™ by itself for a variety of applications.

 

Experience and Save

The MHI's design team can often provide input to help you build your own Airtorch™ oven and save.   We can also design and manufacture custom furnaces, tailored to your specifications or discuss with your furnace specialist.    Please Call our Integrated Sales engineering team today to learn how the Airtorch™ can revolutionize your process as well as your bottom line!

The table above is only a sample calculation and assumes close to 95% efficiency for the Airtorch and less for the conventional oven (see power used). It is likely that the average Airtorch™ owner will not only process more parts faster with better uniformity but will also save in overall utility and capital cost.
