METALLURGICAL
Metallurgical processes rely on controlled heat, consistent atmospheres, and equipment capable of delivering repeatable results. Here at CDS Airtek we provide heat treatment, annealing and stress relief ovens and furnaces that support metal treatment and finishing across a wide range of applications. Our solutions are designed to deliver stable performance while supporting efficient throughput and consistent metallurgical outcomes.
INDUSTRIAL FURNACES AND OVENS FOR METAL PROCESSING
We design and manufacture custom industrial ovens and furnaces suited to metallurgical applications. Our portfolio includes batch and continuous systems configured around production volumes, material types, and operational constraints to deliver reliable thermal performance. Industrial ovens are ideal for low-to-medium temperature processes, while furnaces support more demanding heat treatment requirements. Each system is engineered to suit the specific application, whether you need a heat treatment furnace, annealing oven, stress relief furnace, or other solutions for drying, pre-heating, or tempering.
HEAT TREATMENT AND CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERES
Many metallurgical processes require tightly controlled environments to achieve consistent results. We design ovens and furnaces capable of supporting controlled atmospheres where required, helping to manage oxidation, surface finish, and material integrity. This level of control supports processes such as heat treatment, annealing, tempering, and stress relieving, allowing operators to achieve predictable metallurgical properties.
DRYING AND PRE-TREATMENT SYSTEMS
Effective pre-treatment plays a key role in metal processing. CDS Airtek provides industrial drying and pre-heating systems that prepare components for downstream operations such as coating, heat treatment, or assembly. R-O2 drying technology offers an alternative approach for applications where moisture control and energy efficiency are critical, supporting reduced process time and improved consistency.
PROCESS CONTROL ACROSS METAL TREATMENT STAGES
Accurate temperature management is fundamental to metallurgical performance. CDS Airtek systems are developed to support precise thermal profiles across heating, holding, and cooling stages, allowing operators to maintain control over material properties. PLC-controlled systems provide clear process visibility, supporting repeatability across heat treatment cycles and reducing variation during production.
CDS Airtek works closely with metallurgical operators to design heat treatment ovens, annealing furnaces, and stress relief ovens that support efficient material handling and production continuity. Automated loading, controlled product movement, and integrated control systems help streamline operations while reducing manual intervention. This engineering-led approach supports consistent output and reliable day-to-day operation.
ONGOING SUPPORT AND TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
From initial consultation through to installation and aftercare, our team provides full lifecycle support. We can offer maintenance services, technical advice, and system upgrades to help metallurgical operations maintain performance and adapt to changing production demands. This long-term partnership approach supports equipment reliability and operational confidence.
