Related Kilns & Furnaces

NUTEC Bickley's box furnaces are ideal for intermittent or batch processes where the product is front loaded directly into the furnace with the help of a forklift/handling gear.

Drop Bottom Furnaces

NUTEC Bickley supplies drop bottom furnaces of different sizes to match customer production and process requirements for aluminum heat treatment.

Roller Hearth Furnaces are versatile, efficient and mostly used for index moving of work load baskets. They can also be set up in an oscillating configuration for long heating cycles on very long stock such as pipe, tubing, strip, and slabs.

Tip-Up Furnaces

NUTEC Bickley's tip-up furnaces provide a flexible operational process by allowing the high temperature process (austenitizing) and the low temperature process (tempering) to be executed in the same furnace.

Bell furnaces are commonly used for intermittent or batch processes. Their principal use is to perform heat treatment, although they can also be used for sintering or drying at low temperature.
