Drop Bottom Furnaces

Critical Parts with Tight Specifications? We Can Build the Furnace You Need.

Drop Bottom Furnaces

From bolts to rocket body parts, manufacturers across multiple industries rely on CEC Drop Bottom Furnaces to heat and quench their products to stringent standards, such as meeting the Class 1 requirements of AMS2750.

Decades of experience in the design and manufacture of drop bottom systems have guided CEC in crafting effective and efficient treatment solutions for loads of any size, type, and weight: 3 ft long racks, 20 ft diameter forged rings, even 65 ft long wing extrusions, from a hundred pounds to ten tons and more.

Rigorous and thorough engineering design, backed and verified by fluid dynamic simulations, guarantees the superior uniformity and performance of CEC Drop Bottom Furnaces, regardless of the size or shape of the load.

Whatever the process requirements or product dimensions, let us know what you need your drop bottom furnace to handle, and we will work with you to create the best treatment solution.

THE TREATMENT OF CHALLENGING PARTS MADE EASY

No matter the product shape, uniformity specification, or quench timing requirement, our furnaces will make heat treating your parts a smooth and convenient process. 

Drop Bottom Furnace Configurations

Car Loaded Drop Bottom

When parts need only a simple quench cycle, and the footprint of the system needs to be minimal, nothing beats a car-loaded drop bottom furnace for simplicity and efficiency. Capable of handling extreme weights, these systems are rugged and dependable.

Mobile Furnace Drop Bottom

Large and complex loads requiring both a quench and a rinse cycle are easily handled in a mobile furnace drop bottom system. Automated control systems take the guesswork out of recipe times and part movement, making your process consistent and precise.

Mobile Quench Drop Bottom

With no need for a foundation pit or cleared overhad space for a mobile furnace, a mobile quench system can treat your smaller product loads with minimal impact to building design.

Vertical Drop Bottom

Long parts or extrusions are often difficult to treat, especially if straightness is critical. Vertical drop bottom furnaces are a superior choice for processing such challenging parts.

CEC will work with you to provide the best furnace for your product.
