01

The works: floor, lifting and machines

A standard workshop with the equipment this kind of build actually needs. What matters to a buyer is not the area, but what can be lifted and what can be cut.

Floor area

8,000 m² of workshop floor, laid out for fabrication and trial assembly in the same bay.

Lifting

Two overhead cranes — 10 t and 5 t. The tonnage sets the largest single piece that can be lifted and turned.

Machines

Welding machines, laser cutting and the overhead cranes, all in the same shop as assembly.

Crane capacity, not floor area, is what limits a heavy build: a chamber section that cannot be lifted and turned in one piece changes the assembly sequence. That is why the tonnage is stated here rather than left in a brochure.

02

Maximum chamber width, by furnace type

Two figures decide whether a chamber is buildable here. Both are worth checking against your part before the drawing stage.

Mesh-belt furnace

600mm

Maximum chamber width

The widest chamber we build on a mesh belt. Past that point the belt no longer spans the load the way this design assumes.

Roller-hearth furnace

2m

Maximum chamber width

More than three times the mesh-belt figure, because the part is carried across the width on driven rolls instead of on a belt spanning it.

Width is the binding limit. Chamber length is not fixed here: it follows the heated-zone length your output and process time need, which is the calculation set out on the custom furnace process page.

03

Inspection: two documented points

Inspection is stated here as two concrete checkpoints with a record behind each of them, rather than as a list of quality adjectives.

  • Incoming material — documents arrive with the steel. Steel and components come in with their material certificates, so the traceability record exists from the front end of the build. Material certificates
  • Before shipment — weld leak test and visual inspection. The welds are leak-tested, and the finished machine gets a visual inspection before it is packed. These two checks run on every furnace. Every machine

Between those two ends, workmanship is held to the shop’s own standard rather than to a signed inspection record at every stage. If your project needs stage-by-stage hold points with a signature at each one, raise it at the enquiry stage and it is written into the order.

04

Tests before shipment — and their limits

A furnace of this size is commissioned where it is installed, and no amount of workshop testing at the works changes that.

The control cabinet is powered and commissioned at the works. The furnace itself is not fired up before shipment.

What the works can prove

Electrical commissioning

Powering the cabinet proves the wiring, the interlocks and the control sequence before the machine is packed. That is the test the shop can run.

What the works cannot prove

Heat-up behaviour

The furnace is not heated at the works, so the heat-up curve and the thermal behaviour under load are demonstrated after installation, at your site.

What this means for acceptance

Two kinds of acceptance

The acceptance you get at the works is electrical, mechanical and visual; the thermal acceptance happens where the machine is installed.

The four delivery nodes and the joint factory acceptance are set out on the custom furnace process page, so both sides know which acceptance is signed where before production starts.

05

Capacity and the people behind it

Two numbers that decide whether a schedule is realistic: how many furnaces leave the shop in a year, and how much of the team is technical.

Annual delivery

50 furnaces a year

Annual delivery runs at 50 furnaces. It is the figure a delivery date is checked against, so it is stated rather than implied.

Team

20 people, 60% technical

The team is 20 people, with 60% in technical and process roles — about 12 engineers and technicians against 8 in other functions.

FAQ

Questions asked about the shop

How large is the works, and what can the cranes lift?
The works covers 8,000 m² and runs two overhead cranes, one of 10 t and one of 5 t. The crane tonnage sets the largest single piece that can be lifted and turned during assembly, so it is a real limit on a heavy build rather than a workshop statistic.
What is the widest furnace you can build?
600 mm of chamber width on a mesh-belt furnace and 2 m on a roller-hearth furnace. Width is the binding constraint; chamber length follows the heated-zone length your process needs, which is a separate calculation.
What is inspected, and at which points?
Two points are documented. Incoming steel and components arrive with their material certificates. Before shipment, the welds are leak-tested and the finished machine gets a visual inspection. Between those two ends, workmanship is held to the shop’s own standard rather than to a signed inspection record per stage.
Is the furnace fired up before it leaves the works?
No. The control cabinet is powered and commissioned at the works, which proves the wiring, the interlocks and the sequence. The furnace itself is not heated before shipment, so the first heat-up happens after installation, at your site.
How many furnaces do you deliver a year, and how many people build them?
50 furnaces a year. The team is 20 people, and 60% of them sit in technical and process roles, roughly 12 engineers and technicians against 8 in other functions.

Check your part against the shop

Send the part, the chamber width you need and the output per hour. You get a straight answer on whether it fits inside 600 mm or 2 m, which crane lifts it, and which records travel with the machine — before the drawing stage, not during it.
