Furnace for the automotive industry

Contract manufacturing at the highest level

The furnace for the heat treatment of aluminium forgings for the automotive industry measures 33.5 × 5.3 × 6 metres and weighs an impressive 105 tonnes.

It is fitted with three transport levels, six pneumatically operated doors and around 68 metres of air ducts, reaching temperatures of over 500 °C during operation.

Our contribution

The entire construction, from the housing and insulation to the piping, electrical and pneumatic systems, was carried out entirely at our factory. The system was then tested and programmed over a period of three weeks to ensure trouble-free commissioning at the customer's site.

Manufacturing expertise at every stage

The furnace unit was dismantled into four parts for transport and delivered in a two-colour design. This meant that it was immediately ready for use in vehicle production.

Thanks to the precise and efficient combination of construction, welding technology, assembly and surface treatment Huppertz offers one-stop solutions as an extended workbench.

"Everything runs smoothly and professionally with Huppertz, from the initial contact right through to delivery. They think proactively and deliver on time, while providing first-class quality.”
