BATCH FURNACES
At CDS Airtek, our team has decades of experience as trusted specialists in the design, manufacture and commissioning of industrial batch furnaces and custom industrial ovens. Over the years, we have supplied custom systems across aerospace, automotive, defence, energy, medical and advanced manufacturing. Every installation is built to deliver consistent performance, energy efficiency and long-term reliability. Whether you are hardening precision parts, annealing fabrications or carrying out solution treatment and ageing, our batch furnace and custom industrial oven solutions are made to handle complex and demanding processes every day.
We recognise that no two operations are the same. For this reason, we take a flexible and collaborative approach from concept through to commissioning. By combining deep thermal expertise with innovative design, we configure batch furnaces and custom industrial ovens that align precisely with your temperature profile, load size and takt time. Whether your needs follow one of our proven specifications or require a completely tailored system, you can be confident that we will understand your application and deliver a furnace or oven engineered for optimum results.
