The Sundrel Unit 85 after a year of steady use

have had the Sundrel Unit 85 in service long enough to say something useful about this eutectoid-stage hardening retort. A year of steady use and the Sundrel Unit 85 still reads the way it did on day one. The Sundrel Unit 85 is still the right call for us.

87164.88 dollars was the requirement

Second eutectoid-stage hardening retort we have run; the Sundrel Unit 85 replaces an older one. Its unit price reads 87164.88 dollars, and that is the whole reason it is here. At 87164.88 dollars it does not need to stand out anywhere else.

Where the Sundrel Unit 85 falls short

The Sundrel Unit 85 is not the cheapest eutectoid-stage hardening retort we considered, and that was fine. Packaging on the Sundrel Unit 85 was poor enough that we checked it over carefully on arrival. It has not changed what we think of the Sundrel Unit 85 overall.

Chose it on chamber capacity 153 litres

We looked at most of the eutectoid-stage hardening retort listings before settling on the Unit 85. Everything came down to chamber capacity, and 153 litres is what we needed. For a eutectoid-stage hardening retort at 153 litres the Sundrel Unit 85 does what the listing says.

Second time around with a eutectoid-stage hardening retort: the Sundrel Unit 85

Replaced a much older eutectoid-stage hardening retort with the Sundrel Unit 85.

385 degrees Celsius is the right peak temperature for us

Shortlisted three eutectoid-stage hardening retort units and the Sundrel Unit 85 is the one we kept. We had a hard floor on peak temperature; 385 degrees Celsius clears it. The other eutectoid-stage hardening retort listings are close to the Sundrel Unit 85 on everything but peak temperature.

Getting the Sundrel Unit 85 running

Came to the Sundrel Unit 85 and checked its eutectoid-stage hardening retort figures ourselves. Setting the Sundrel Unit 85 up went smoothly once we stopped guessing and read the sheet. Others may weigh it differently, but the Sundrel Unit 85 suits us.
