ABSTRACT:
A liquid quenching system for use with continuous furnaces for heat treating small parts wherein the quenchant is used to both quench and convey the parts. A supply conduit connects a quench liquid reservoir to a connector between the furnace and a quench chute providing an initial quantity of quench liquid in the quench chute. A feed conduit pumps additional quench liquid into the chute to convey the parts while they are being quenched to a segregating device comprising an inclined, rotating drum having an internal auger flight. The drum permits the return of clean quench liquid to the reservoir and moves the quenched parts substantially dry of quench fluid to a suitable receptacle or further conveying means. A portion of the quench chute forms a trunnion for rotatable support of the receiving end of the drum, the discharge end having a shaft mounted for rotation on the reservoir.
