Types of Industrial Furnace
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Designed to create high temperatures needed to heat treat parts, process metals, and cure metal coatings, industrial ovens play a key role in manufacturing, material processing, research, and medicine.
|
|
| Modern industrial ovens can operate in several modes; gas, electricity, steam, hot water, microwaves, fuel oil batch, or conveyor-loaded systems. Emphasis is placed on maximising product loading and airflow pattern performance.

|
Applications
|
|
|
| Sterilisation
|
|
|
| Preparation of medical devices and instruments for aseptic use.
|
|
|
| Pharmaceuticals
|
|
|
| Bake coatings onto pills, oxidizer to remove excess chemicals and waste.
|
|
|
| Burn-In Testing
|
|
|
| Static and dynamic burn-in testing for integrated circuits and electronic devices. Provides harsh and hazardous conditions to detect product defects.
|
|
|
|
| Heating Treatment
|
|
|
| Controlled temperature tempering, ageing, stress relief, and annealing to strengthen metals.
|
|
|
| Preheating / Drying
|
|
|
| Controlled temperature to prepare material for the next step in production process or drying process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A key component of industrial furnaces, industrial heaters convert fuel and raw materials into thermal energy to power a system, process stream or closed environment.

Industrial Heater Types
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Applications
|
|
|
| Annealing / Heat Treating
|
|
|
| Material stress-relief or softening to facilitate cold working necessary to prevent fracturing.
|
|
|
| Curing / Tempering
|
|
|
| Decrease the hardness of ferrous alloys to increase toughness.
|
|
|
| Drying
|
|
|
| In-process or batch operation for controlled and consistent product or material drying.
|
|
|
| Melting
|
|
|
| Transform materials from a solid to a liquid state for further processing (e.g. casting).
|
|
|
|
|
Fuel/Energy Source
|
|
|
| Electric / Solar (AC / DC)
|
|
|
| Combustible fluids (Gas / Propane / Oil / Kerosene)
|
|
|
| Thermal fluids (Steam / Hot water)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Industrial burners facilitate the mixing of oxygen with fuel to achieve controlled combustion. By injecting fuel into the system via a burner tip, industrial burners can also shape flame and heat-release patterns, which are further controlled by the combustion chamber.
|
|
|
| Our industrial burner systems are designed to maximise availability, reliability, and performance while minimising maintenance.
|
|
|
Applications
|
|
|
| Heating for furnace systems (solids / liquids / fluids)
|
|
|
| Melting & Holding (metals / materials)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Initiating chemical reactions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Highly sensitive and precise, thermocouples measure changes in temperature via voltage changes that occur in tandem with the temperature between the junction of two types of metal (thermocouples).
|
|
|
| Thermocouples are inexpensive, interchangeable, self-powered, and can be equipped with different connectors to measure a wide range of temperatures—making them ideal for manufacturing, material processing, and even commercial applications.
|
|
|
Applications
|
|
|
| Industrial Furnaces
|
|
|
| Capable of withstanding high temperatures, corrosive conditions (air, reducing, oxidising), and versatile mounting configuration.
|
|
|
| Food Applications
|
|
|
| Oven control, penetration probes, Clean-In-Place sensors, food chain monitoring, hotplate control, monitoring, and steam kettle temperature control.
|
|
|
| High Temperature
|
|
|
| Extrusion applications, including temperature measurement for molten metal and extrusion plastic and aluminium moulding/manufacturing.
|
|
|
| Low Temperature
|
|
|
| Many thermocouples model can measure temperatures down to -200°C
