INDUSTRIAL FURNACES
CDS Airtek designs and manufactures fully custom industrial furnaces for demanding heat-treatment applications across aerospace, automotive, defence, energy, medical and general manufacturing environments. Each project begins with a clear understanding of how your components behave under heat, allowing our industrial furnaces to be designed around your exact temperature profile, production volume and quality targets. From batch systems through to gas-fired units and conveyor or continuous industrial furnaces, every solution is purpose-built to support consistent processing and dependable long-term operation.
CUSTOM INDUSTRIAL FURNACES BUILT FOR PRECISION & EFFICIENCY
Our industrial furnaces are engineered to deliver stable, uniform heat at elevated temperatures, with accurate control of dwell time, temperature ramp rates and, where required, the process atmosphere. This level of control is essential for applications where repeatability directly affects product performance and compliance. Each furnace design is developed to minimise temperature deviation across the working chamber, supporting tight tolerances even during extended production cycles.
High-performance insulation systems, efficient electric or combustion-based heating methods and intelligent control platforms are integrated into our industrial furnaces to manage energy use without compromising output. These features help reduce operating costs while supporting reliable uptime, making the furnaces suitable for both low-volume specialist work and higher-throughput manufacturing settings.
With a UK-based team of experienced thermal engineers, CDS Airtek builds industrial furnaces to your precise specification and in line with recognised industry standards. Our designs support a wide range of heat-treatment processes including annealing, solution treatment and ageing, stress relieving and brazing, as well as bespoke applications that require carefully managed thermal conditions. The result is an industrial furnace that provide consistent performance, long service life and confidence in every heat cycle.

TAILORED ADVANCED THERMAL PROCESSING SOLUTIONS WITH AIRTEK’S CUSTOM INDUSTRIAL FURNACES
Every CDS Airtek industrial furnace is built around your part geometry, load mass and required metallurgical outcome, ensuring our industrial furnaces are aligned with the real demands of your process rather than a standardised design. By taking this application-led approach, our industrial furnaces support consistent results across varying batch sizes and production schedules. We design the heating system, airflow or radiant layout and control strategy to deliver balanced heat distribution and repeatable thermal profiles, helping to reduce cycle times while limiting scrap and rework.
Our industrial furnaces can be configured with advanced control features to support both production efficiency and quality assurance requirements. Available options include multi-zone temperature control for tighter uniformity, load thermocouples for accurate part temperature measurement, atmosphere monitoring where process conditions demand it, recipe-driven programs for operator consistency and integrated data capture. These features allow an industrial furnace to produce clear, traceable quality records that remain audit-ready and support compliance across regulated manufacturing environments.
BUILT FOR PRECISION AND RELIABILITY
Heavy-duty frames, robust drive systems and carefully selected refractories ensure dependable operation of our industrial furnaces even in the most demanding environments. Energy-saving features, high-efficiency burners or heating elements, VFD-controlled fans, door seals and upgraded insulation all contribute to lowering the lifetime cost of ownership for your industrial furnace. From initial consultation and 3D design through to manufacture, FAT/SAT, installation and operator training, we deliver custom industrial furnaces that prioritise long-term performance while keeping disruption to your production to a minimum.
