Hearth Plate Information

Why Use

• To provide a load bearing surface and distribute the weight of product being

heated.

• To protect the furnace chamber from spillage.

• To lengthen the life of furnace, by allowing heat from the chamber floor to

circulate into the chamber center.

When to use

• Hearth Plates are recommended during each furnace operation.

How to Install

• Hearth plates are designed with a grooved surface.

• The grooved surface must be positioned against the chamber floor.

Shelf Installation in Box Furnaces

1. Model series BF51731 and BF51732 are supplied with a pair of half-depth

shelves.

2. One or both of these shelves can be installed into the chamber using the single

groove at the mid-point on each side wall

Figure 5. BF51731 and BF51732 Chamber Showing Shelf Groove

Most hearth plate materials made of ceramic fibre and can be
broken if dropped.
