About LORAC...

Unlike the incredible modern electronic devices that we
help to produce, thermal processing technology equipment
has essentially remained unchanged for several years. This fact, coupled with significant savings in both price and delivery,
is what makes a LORAC refurbished furnace so appealing.

We also specialize in Temperature Controller Retrofitting
and Profiling.

LORAC offers controller retrofits that are surprisingly affordable.

LORAC founder and president, Ken Reynolds has earned his outstanding reputation as a furnace and thermal processing expert in 49 of the United States and over a dozen other countries. With over 40 years of Industry experience,
he is a recognized authority.


Dear Colleagues,

My career in the furnace business began in a technical capacity
with BTU Engineering in 1968. I spent many of my 17 years
with them as the head of their West Coast operations,
with responsibilities for both Sales and Service.

Later, I was with Watkins-Johnson, when, as it turned out,
fortunately for me, they decided to "downsize" their
*continuous furnace business*.


LORAC
was established shortly thereafter.

Initially, we were involved exclusively with providing
on-site field service for my former BTU and W-J customers.
Many of which, are still
LORAC clients, today!

I continue to enjoy providing on-site solutions for our customers.
I am especially fond of opportunities that allow me
to conduct Furnace Training.

Our Furnace Seminars are a fantastic investment
which will pay dividends in countless ways
for many years to come!

We are always happy to help a client repair an existing furnace.
Quite often an existing furnace is fully functional, except
it has controller issues and BTU, LINDBERG, RTC
or W-J/MRL has said their system is
“OBSOLETE & NON REPAIRABLE”!!


Shame on THEM!!

  • LORAC offers a PC based controller retrofit that is surprisingly affordable! Why not simply change the controls, instead of the furnace! You certainly should not reward the firm that will not support their existing equipment with an order for another furnace!
     

  • CROSS-BELT TEMPERATURE NON-UNIFORMITY PROBLEMS are often correctable by adjusting the profile dynamics. If you can use twice the belt space, you can double your production!!!
     

  • PRODUCT EXIT TEMPERATURE CAN BE REDUCED! There are tremendous new ideas in exit muffle design. Convection is not just for heating printed circuit boards anymore; wait until you see what it can do to help remove the heat from your product. The result means higher belt speed and increased production!!!
     

  • SOLAR CELL FIRING FURNACES now run at speeds up to 180 inches per minute!!!! Why not change the drive system components instead of the furnace???? If the original equipment manufacturers will not help you get up to speed; get what you need from us!!!
     

  • What about Furnace Profiling? LORAC uses the latest
    hi-tech equipment available from KIC Thermal Profiling.
    We're especially good at finding out what's really going on inside your furnace and then presenting the facts in a way that we can best use them to your advantage!
     

  • If repairs and improvements to existing equipment are not enough, please go to Inventory Listings which describe the furnaces in various categories, which are currently available for sale. This is equipment has been brought to our warehouse in Phoenix where it is reconditioned, restore to as close to like-new condition as possible and thoroughly tested. Our equipment is always available for demonstration prior to shipment and we completely guarantee everything we sell to be fully operational for 30 days, from delivery!

Thank you for your interest in my furnaces.
I look forward to talking to you in the near future.

Please contact me and let me know
about your particular problems or requirements.
