Thermal Processing & Heat Treatment
Batch, continuous, vacuum and induction thermal systems with atmosphere, quench and process evidence.
How this equipment family works
Thermal-processing equipment changes material properties through controlled heating, atmosphere, soak, cooling and quench. Furnace capacity is only useful when temperature uniformity, instrumentation, recipe control, load configuration and maintenance support the required result.

Batch & Continuous Furnaces
Batch and continuous furnaces heat defined loads through programmed temperature and atmosphere cycles using box, car-bottom, belt, pusher or other handling arrangements.
Open machine-class guide →02Vacuum Furnaces
Vacuum furnaces heat parts under reduced pressure or controlled partial pressure to limit oxidation and support specialized thermal cycles.
Open machine-class guide →03Induction Heating Systems
Induction systems use electromagnetic fields to heat conductive material rapidly and locally through a power supply, coil and controlled part presentation.
Open machine-class guide →04Quench & Controlled-Cooling Systems
Quench systems cool heated parts through oil, polymer, water, gas, salt or controlled air to establish material properties and distortion behavior.
