Industrial furnaces

Forge ahead with our high-tech industrial Furnaces for Metals

Industrial Furnaces Manufacturers for the Metal Industry, with the best technology on insulation systems, combustion equipment, instrumentation, controls and heat recovery systems.

Types of industrial furnaces we have for you

We are industrial furnace manufacturers, our industrial heat treatment furnaces can be provided for a wide range of temperature ranges and a wide variety of applications.

With Fiber lined sections using the patented “Jointless System®” with special design to compensate for the fiber shrinkage and the most advanced heat recovery systems with recuperative burners performing fuel savings from 10% up to 50% vs cold air systems.


Nutec Bickley provides Heavy Duty Car Bottom Ovens & Furnaces in custom designs and dimensions to match customer production and process requirements. They offer a great advantage which is the ability to handle large / heavy loads, as the product is loaded onto the car(s) when located outside the actual furnace area; this eliminates the damage to the industrial furnace interiors during loading and unloading.
We supply drop bottom quench furnaces to complete solution and T6 heat treatments in a batch configuration. The combination of the main features like customized air distribution furnace system, quick door opening, heavy duty lifting mechanism and quench tank with required agitation makes this furnace as the ideal equipment for aluminum heat treat of the castings and forging parts.
Bell furnaces offer an economical method of heat treating iron castings and steel parts when used with multiple bases. Some advantages of this equipment are the excellent positive seal between furnace and base, and can be used with multiple bases. They also have different bell lifting methods available depending on customer’s requirements and layout.
We provide Industrial Heavy Duty furnaces and ovens for temperature ranges from 300ºF to 2,450 ºF (150°C to 1,340°C) to perform a wide variety of process applications as Forging, Ferrous Castings, Aluminum, Electrical (Transformers & Motors), etc. Our Box furnaces design and fabrication provides a heavy duty Forge box furnaces line, from 30 ft3 to over 3,500 ft3, from 1 m3 to 1,000 m3 (30 ft3 - 3,500 ft3), in custom designs.
Our custom continuous ovens and furnaces can be provided for temperature ranges from 200ºF to 1200ºF to perform in the following industries: Forging, Ferrous Castings, Aluminum, Stress Relief Furnace, Electrical, etc. We review the individual product and process application, to determine the ideal choice of conveyor and the best air flow pattern system to transmit the heat efficiently to the load.

Nutec Bickley provides heavy duty moving hood furnaces for the heat treatment process (Normalizing, Annealing, stress relieving and others) of steel forgings and castings and large steel plate formed parts. These furnaces are an excellent alternative for heavy loads placed in several stationary bases, and moving hood furnaces are travelling to the required heating station.

Nutec Bickley provides pusher type furnaces for continuous - indexing production with indexing pusher mechanisms located outside of the furnace and pushes a whole train of trays or containers along the length of the furnace. This type of industrial furnace has fixed “roll-rails” or “skid rails” on top of the refractory hearth to support the trays or containers along the furnace.
We provide a wide range of rotary with dimensions from 1.5 m3 to 18 m3 (5 ft3 - 60 ft3) diameter. These furnaces are mostly used for heat treating and reheating processes.In many cases these furnaces are integrated with load/unload manipulators to feed forging cells, forming lines, or quenching systems. Much of the ancillary equipment can be supplied by Nutec Bickley with our rotary furnaces.
We provide roller hearth ovens and industrial furnaces design for batch process applications, and for indexing-continuous production. We provide them for temperatures up to 1,700ºF (930°C) with Pulse firing combustion systems and the most advanced heat recovery systems with recuperative burners performing fuel savings from 10% up to 50% vs cold air systems.
Nutec Bickley provides tip-up furnaces and ovens that eliminate possible door leakage by allowing the entire furnace bottom perimeter to seal against a fiber / sand seal box. For temperature ranges from 950ºF to 2,200ºF to perform processes such as: Austenitizing and tempering of forged parts and steel castings, Malleability of iron castings, Annealing of steel wire and more.
We can supply walking beam furnaces for industries like Forging, Stress Relief, Tube, Rod and wire, and more. The handling system of this type of heat treatment furnace (fixed beams and walking beams) can be made with hard refractory material, or with high temperature steel alloys in custom shapes according to the size of the product.

Industrial Furnace Manufacturers

Each of our kilns and furnaces are designed based on the needs of the client. We do not have standardized models since we understand that each company has different operational requirements, so we adapt our technology to your specific needs.

We have a fully equipped laboratory with advanced combustion, monitoring and control systems. This allows us to perform a wide range of scale tests and virtual design as a primary part of our service. Our team pre-assembles all our furnaces and kilns and in the case of smaller ovens we can also send it fully armed, saving important downtime to our customers.

As industrial furnace manufacturers, we have a strict quality control protocol (QA) for our equipment once they have been assembled, which translates into greater operational reliability and compliance with safety regulations.

Main industries requiring our industrial furnaces

Electrical (transformers & motors)
Ferrous Casting
Other Applications
Steel Tempering Furnaces and Ovens
Tube, Rod & Wire

We manufacture our industrial furnaces with the best technology

With our SCADA systems, the kiln operators are able to have complete control of their firing process, enhancing efficiency and productivity. Our latest Industry 4.0 developments integrate the latest technology to not only monitor the process, but also to keep the kiln operating in its peak performance with smart maintenance technology.
IMPS
Our Integrated Multi Zone Pulsing System counts with hardware and software whose purpose is to achieve the best possible temperature uniformity allied to lower fuel. The integrated multi-zone pulsing system allows our customers to use 25% less fuel than with standard technology.
Our Jointless® ceramic fiber insulation system has clearly been shown to provide a longer useful life in industrial kilns and to reduce the risks of contamination when used together with our Macro Modules. These Macro Modules enable gas vents to be incorporated into a single-piece structure, thereby eliminating the joints and cover plates commonly found in conventional kiln roofs. In this way, we succeed in eliminating the risk of steel contamination and also loss of useful heat.

Compliance with safety regulations

We are members of the IHEA (Industrial Heating Equipment Association) and the compliance with these standards allows our customers to avoid explosion risks and danger risks to personnel and equipment, resulting in an operation that is as safe as it is efficient. At Nutec Bickley we are experts in industrial safety, so we make sure our kilns and furnaces are, at the very least, fully compliant with all current regulations.
