Car Bottom Furnace

Car bottom furnaces provide the operator with ease of loading and unloading large, or heavy products without damaging the furnace interior. Typical uses for this style furnace are stress relieving, annealing, normalizing or steel tempering.

Lindberg/MPH designs and manufactures fuel (gas) fired, electrically heated and dual energy car bottom box furnaces for batch processing large parts at temperatures up to 2800°F. These furnaces feature rapid heat-up and cool-down rates. Engineered to the highest quality standards, our car bottom furnaces meet strict temperature uniformity requirements and provide reliable operation. We also offer a wide range of temperature control and full data retrieval systems.
