HEAT TREATMENT OVENS
Bespoke heat treatment ovens designed, manufactured and supported in the UK for aerospace, automotive, advanced materials and other sectors.
At CDS Airtek, we design, manufacture and install heat treatment ovens and bespoke process ovens for a range of industrial processes. Our heat treatment ovens are capable of operating over broad temperature ranges, with recirculating air used at levels up to 1250°C to ensure uniformity. This capability is vital for applications where even the slightest variation can compromise material performance or product quality.
Every thermal process oven we supply is tailored to the specific requirements of the process. We offer a variety of insulation and lining options designed to suit different temperatures, materials and production environments, helping to maximise energy efficiency while maintaining safety and reliability. Where required, we can also integrate quench systems directly into the heat treatment oven, allowing for precise control of cooling cycles as part of the overall thermal processing process.
Our heat treatment ovens are relied upon across aerospace, automotive and advanced composites. Typical applications include aluminium ageing, stress relieving, annealing, sintering and pyrolysis, all of which demand tight process control and repeatable results. By combining robust construction with advanced control systems, we provide bespoke process ovens that achieve outstanding temperature distribution and support long-term operational efficiency.
