List of products
What are industrial furnaces?
Industrial furnaces are used whenever materials need to be heated under precisely controlled conditions. Depending on the application, they are used for drying, curing, preheating, heat treatment, melting, holding, quenching or additive manufacturing post-processing.
Choosing the right furnace starts with understanding your process. The required temperature, material, load size, production volume, heating technology and process atmosphere all determine which furnace category is the most suitable.
Typical applications
- Drying, curing and preheating
- Heat treatment of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
- Annealing, tempering and stress relieving
- Hardening and quenching
- Aluminium melting, holding and transport
- Controlled atmosphere heat treatment
- Additive manufacturing post-processing
- Heat shrink packaging and industrial product wrapping
How to choose an industrial furnace
- Process type – drying, curing, heat treatment, melting, quenching or additive manufacturing
- Maximum operating temperature – according to your material and process
- Heating technology – forced convection, radiant heating or protective atmosphere
- Load size and weight – chamber dimensions, loading method and load capacity
- Temperature uniformity – especially important for repeatable heat treatment results
- Safety requirements – for example solvent vapours, protective atmosphere or process documentation

FAQ
How do I choose the right industrial furnace?
Start with your process: required temperature, material, batch size, production volume, heating method and atmosphere requirements. These parameters determine whether you need a low-temperature oven, forced convection furnace, radiant heating furnace, retort furnace, melting furnace or complete heat treatment system.
What is the difference between forced convection and radiant heating?
Forced convection furnaces use air circulation for very uniform temperature distribution, especially at lower and medium temperatures. Radiant heating furnaces are typically used for higher-temperature heat treatment where heat is transferred mainly by radiation.
