extract materials from furnace
Remove materials from the furnace using a crane, a conveyor, by tilting the furnace, or using other methods.
Heat treatment furnace operators monitor the process of heat treatment of castings. They control the treatment furnaces and direct all activities of furnace operation, including the interpretation of computer data, temperature measurement and adjustment, and loading vessels. They control the chemicothermal treatment of castings in order to reach the standards.
