Your Mill has unique needs. We have custom solutions.

When it comes to treating aluminum extrusions, drawn wire, or rolled sheet products, no other manufacturer comes close to CEC’s depth of experience. Sows, billets, ingots, extrusions, wire or sheet spools – whatever step in the process, whatever the end product, our furnaces produce quality results year after year. Our design process is backed by proven calculation methods, advanced analysis tools, and numerous treatment process innovations that ensure your next furnace exceeds both requirement and expectation.

At Every Step in the Aluminum Heat Treating Process, CEC Has You Covered.

Aluminum Sow Drying

Whether you need a Mobile sow dryer or a Car Bottom sow dryer, CEC will engineer and build a long-lasting and reliable machine to meet your product’s pre-melt process requirements and exceed your expectations.

Aluminum Ingot Pusher Furnace

Aluminum Ingot Preheating

When facing high production rate requirements, the last thing you want is an outdated and inconvenient pusher furnace slowing down your product workflow. Let CEC help you keep things moving with superior performance and functional improvements that make running your new ingot preheater a breeze for both your operators and maintenance crew.

Aluminum Extrusion Treating

With CEC’s precision designed solutions, solution treating your post-extruder product can be done consistently and efficiently, whether you need a continuous Roller Hearth Furnace for high production rate, or a vertical Drop Bottom Furnace for critical or difficult parts.

Aluminum Coil Annealing Furnace

Aluminum Annealing

CEC knows that the balancing act of getting the annealing results you need without wasting valuable time is a difficult one. That’s why our engineers have been carefully calculating the heating needs of each annealing machine we make for decades, with the help of advanced tools such as computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer simulations. With our meticulously designed furnaces, shorter heating and cooling cycles will get you the product properties you need in less time.
