THERMFIRE ADVANTAGE

 From the Thermfire 1000 right up to the Thermfire 12000, we have a machine that can meet your needs. Gudgeon Thermfire International utilizes state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques to deliver a solid, reliable and long lasting asset to your foundry. 

​

• Expertly programmed Allen Bradley PLC ensures Thermfire is safe and easy to use.

​

• All program conditions, status and alarms are enunciated on screen. Complete with historical data logging and alarm listings to facilitate easy troubleshooting. Networking available

 

• Two methods of heat recovery to ensure maximum efficiency.

 

• Cleans, classifies and cools all of your sand in one compact stacked unit. 

 

• Meets and exceeds low NOx requirements.

 

• No direct flame to sand contact.

The Thermfire’s unique stacked design offers a small footprint. Other machines have multiple stages and can take up 2 to 3 times as much space to achieve the same throughput. The relatively low thermal mass of the Thermfire allows us to achieve processing temperatures from a cold start in 25 minutes. 

 

• Negative pressure is monitored and adjusted automatically to precisely remove only the fines. 

 

• L.O.I. results in the 0.02 to 0.05 range.

 

• Reduces binder requirements at the mixer.

 

• Less binder use means less gas generation and less scrap during pouring, all while saving the cost of excess binder.

 

Engineered to save downtime, money and waste the Thermfire will improve your bottom line. With over 100 installations, Gudgeon Thermfire can make the difference for your foundry.
