Continuous furnace for industry
Efficient heat processes for series production
A continuous furnace is the ideal choice when components need to be heat treated continuously and precisely. Especially in series production, it offers uniform temperature control and high reproducibility – perfect for applications such as aging, tempering, annealing, drying, burn-in, curing plastics, or preheating.
Modern industrial continuous furnaces from WKM are fully automatically controllable. All parameters – temperature control, dwell times, conveyor speed, and cooling sections – are precisely regulated and monitored. This ensures consistent quality, reduces personnel costs, and increases productivity.
During the process, the workpieces move automatically through the furnace and are brought to exactly the required temperature. A specially designed inlet and outlet construction reduces heat loss, ensures high energy efficiency, and lowers operating costs in the long term.
Our continuous furnaces are designed for continuous operation – fully automatic, robust, and low-maintenance.
- Reliable operation even under high loads
- Automatic process control from the moment the components enter the furnace
- Individual adaptation to geometry, temperature profile, and cycle time
- Durable construction to minimize unplanned downtime
Flexible conveyor technology & air flow
Depending on the area of application, we equip the systems with suitable conveyor systems – e.g., with a chain conveyor or heat-resistant plastic belts.
The air flow can be horizontal, vertical, or even combined to ensure uniform heating.
Our modular system design allows us to tailor the length of the oven precisely to your production line. We develop customized solutions that perfectly match your requirements.
