Forging Heat Treating Solutions
Pre- and Post- Forging Heat Treating Equipment Built for Automation
Your Product and Your Data, Where You Need Them, When You Need Them.
Designed for more than just meeting heating specifications, CEC heat treating equipment is custom engineered to integrate into your manufacturing process. Quick cycle times and durable construction endure demanding production schedules, automated load handling keeps product moving in concert with the rest of the production line, and data collection and management put the information for every part and batch at your fingertips.
What We Build for Forging
- Batch Furnaces – for preheat, post-forge stress relief, normalizing, annealing, and other batch heat-treatment cycles
- Tip-Up Furnaces – for efficient charging/discharging and integration with forging operations
- Drop Bottom Furnaces – for applications where rapid transfer or specialized handling supports the forging process
- T4, T6, and T7 Heat Treatment Systems – for forged aluminum components that require controlled solution and aging cycles
- Roller-Hearth or Pusher Furnaces – for continuous or high-throughput forging workflows where automation and line integration matters
- Car Bottom / Mobile Furnaces – for large forgings, heavy loads, and flexible batch processing
Furnace Systems Designed to Fit Your Forgings
Whether preparing material to be forged, or treating parts after forging, CEC systems are engineered to your needs, bringing fast and efficient heat treating to your production line.
- Efficient Workspace Geometry keeps the system footprint to a minimum, saving you space on the factory floor.
- Optimized Flow Patterns ensure tight uniformity across the workload, bringing every part up to temperature evenly.
- Rugged Engineering guarantees system performance through high-cycle charging and discharging, 24/7 production, and harsh mill environments.
Advanced Controls and Automation
CEC systems make use of the most effective control equipment available combined with proven programming techniques to minimize risk of error and maximize efficiency.
- Infeed and Outfeed Automation integrates with your existing equipment to automatically move product to or from your press.
- Automated Recipe Control puts every recipe you need at your fingertips, and removes mistakes from re-entering parameters every time the recipe is changed.
- Pyrometry Spec Integration schedules calibration, uniformity, and controls testing requirements into the system controller to help you stay on top of your specification compliance.
- Advanced Data Capture keeps all of your system’s information secure and ready for reporting, certification, or audit.
