Beta Heat Treatment Ltd

 

 

 

Beta Heat Treatment Limited, the largest independent Fluidised Bed Heat Treater and manufacturer of Fluidised Beds in Europe, acts as a sub contractor to all sections of UK industry and provides a "shop window" for the equipment produced by Clayton Thermal Processes Limited. 

Beta Heat Treatment Limited offer a contract heat treatment service which is approved to ISO 9001 standard. Components up to 1700mm long, 750mm dia and 2000 kgs in weight are treated up to a maximum temperature of 1100 0C. 

Beta Heat Treatment has provided a fast, reliable, quality service to the engineering industry since the start of production in March 1989.  Beta, the first successful company to use fluidised bed furnaces,  is now Europe's largest independent Fluidised Bed sub contractor and was one of the first Heat Treaters to achieve BS ISO 9001 standard in 2003.
The flexibility of the equipment and its accurate temperature control  enables Beta to offer the full range of processes with optimum quality. It is probably the cheapest form of tool steel heat treatment due to the longevity and  quality of equipment and low energy cost per kilogram. Quality comes  first at Beta.

QUALITY

Through advanced monitoring and control, Beta offer high quality, repeatable results. Temperature can be controlled throughout the fluidised bed furnace to ±20C - a standard others find hard to equal. Gas flow control, essential to successful nitriding, is an inherent 
part of the fluidisation process, thus ensuring optimum results every time.

FLUIDISED BED PROCESS

The Fluidised Bed is now accepted as the most effective medium for heat treatment, giving uniform heating with close temperature control, irrespective of the component shape or mass.

HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE ENVIRONMENT

Fluidised bed heat treatment produces work which is clean, even in the deepest holes or recesses and completely free of any toxic material. Those subsequently handling the treated parts can be assured that there are no health hazards associated with fluidised bed heat treatment.

PROCESS TIMES

Fast turn round is vital to most manufacturers and with fluidised bed nitriding Beta offer diffusion rates of .001"/hour - or better in some circumstances. Gone are the days of 30 or 40 hour processes for most applications. Beta provide maximum results in minimum times.

EXPERIENCE

For over fifteen years Beta has served most of the major  engineering groups with fast, clean fluidised bed nitriding which gives extended service life to tools and dies. No other nitriding process can match fluidised bed for quality, speed and finish

We have approval to the new ISO 9001:2000 standard, click here to see our certificates.
