AEROSPACE
INDUSTRIAL FURNACES AND OVENS
Our industrial furnaces and ovens cover a wide range of aerospace processing needs. Batch furnaces are ideal for lower-volume or flexible production, while continuous furnaces support large-scale operations such as tempering, heat treatment, or curing of components. Industrial ovens complement these systems for controlled low-to-medium temperature processes, including drying, pre-heating, or material conditioning. All systems can be gas or electrically fired, with manual, semi-automated, or full PLC control to suit operational requirements.
TUNNEL AND BATCH KILNS
We offer tunnel kilns for continuous ceramic and advanced material production, providing energy efficiency, temperature uniformity, and PLC-controlled operation. Batch kilns, including shuttle, rotary, fixed hearth, and lift-up hood designs, are available for lower-volume or highly specialised applications. These systems support aerospace ceramics, coatings, and refractory materials that require careful thermal management.
CONTINUOUS PROCESSING FOR AEROSPACE MATERIALS
For operations requiring uninterrupted production, our continuous furnace and oven systems are fully automated and capable of precise temperature management. Chain and mesh belt, roller, and pusher furnace designs ensure safe, repeatable, and efficient processing of aerospace metals and composites. Continuous operation improves throughput while maintaining the exacting standards necessary for aerospace manufacturing.
R-O2 INTEGRATION
CDS also integrates R-O2 solutions into aerospace thermal processing systems, enhancing environmental compliance and safety without compromising performance. This technology complements our kilns, furnaces, and ovens, providing additional control and monitoring where precision is critical.
SUPPORTING ADVANCED MATERIALS
CDS equipment is designed to handle a broad spectrum of aerospace materials, including high-performance alloys, composites, and technical ceramics. Our systems deliver the thermal control needed for stress-relief, hardening, curing, or oxidation treatment. Consistency and precision in these processes help extend component lifespan and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
CUSTOM DESIGN TO MEET HIGH STANDARDS
Every aerospace project presents unique challenges. CDS works closely with clients to design bespoke kilns, furnaces, and industrial ovens tailored to specific requirements. From small batch processing to large-scale continuous systems, our solutions maintain exact temperature control and uniformity across the workspace. This approach ensures critical materials such as titanium alloys, nickel-based superalloys, and carbon composites are processed safely and reliably.
INSTALLATION, AFTERCARE AND SUPPORT
CDS provides comprehensive support to keep equipment operating at peak performance. Services include installation, commissioning, maintenance, spare parts supply, and technical consultancy. Our team also offers process optimisation advice to help clients improve production efficiency and ensure safe, reliable operation.
