Product details
A Horizontal Quench System Is An Aluminum Solution Heat Treatment System That Is a Cost-Effective Alternative to a Drop Bottom Furnace.
Wisconsin Oven’s horizontal quench systems (HQS Series) are available in many sizes to suit your needs, either gas-fired or electrically heated. The equipment utilizes an electrically operated pusher/extractor mechanism that provides a quench time as low as seven (7) seconds, which combined with the load capacity of up to 8,000 lbs or more makes it the ideal choice for an aluminum solution heat treatment system.
The horizontal quenching furnace utilizes a high-capacity recirculation blower, along with fully enclosed & pressurized supply ducts, to deliver heated air with a combination airflow arrangement. This type of uniform airflow ensures even heat distribution throughout the work chamber and excellent temperature uniformity. All aluminum quench furnaces are fully factory tested, adjusted, and certified by an extensive quality inspection PRIOR to shipment, which results in lower installation and start-up costs. Optional data acquisition, trending, and reporting are also available.
If your load is too large for a horizontal quench system, consider a drop bottom style furnace.
Experience the future of aluminum solution heat treatment with Wisconsin Oven’s HQS Series. These quenching furnaces are your cost-effective solution for efficient and precise solution heat treatment of aluminum.

Floor Space Comparison: Drop Bottom vs Horizontal Quench
The horizontal quench is a cost-effective alternative to traditional drop bottom furnaces and takes up less floor space.
Wisconsin Oven’s horizontal quench system provides you with premium quality and the following benefits:
- Lower capital cost than a comparable drop bottom furnace, with a significantly smaller footprint
- Quench times as low as seven (7) seconds
- Load sizes up to 12' long and larger
- High load capacity up to 8,000 lbs or more, for castings, extrusions, sheets and others
- Automated quench process for a streamlined production process and consistent results
- Designs that can meet stringent specifications such as AMS2750 and CQI9
- Floor level design for convenient, safe maintenance access, unlike drop bottom furnaces, which are elevated
- Heavy duty construction with quality components
- High volume airflow provides excellent uniformity and heating rates
- Fully adjusted and factory tested PRIOR to shipment to reduce installation and start-up times
- Completely wired, fully tested and certified (as required) prior to shipment
