Continuous systems for industrial heat treatment
Continuous installations
Continuous heat treatment systems are used in industrial heat treatment when components with high unit numbers and constant process parameters are processed. The components continuously pass through several process zones within the system.
Application Areas of Continuous Systems
Continuous systems are primarily used in high-volume production. Typical applications can be found in the automotive industry, the bearing industry, or in the production of fasteners.
Pusher furnaces
Ringherdöfen
Roller hearth furnaces

When Continuous Systems Are the Right Solution
Continuous systems are particularly suitable for production processes with high volumes and stable process parameters. They enable a constant material flow through multiple process zones and can be easily integrated into automated production lines.
Typical application scenarios:
High-volume series production
Automated production lines
Consistent component geometries
Continuous heat treatment processes
Continuous Systems Compared to Batch Systems
While continuous systems are designed for high production volumes and automated series processes, batch systems offer greater flexibility for varying components and batch sizes.
| Continuous Systems | Batch Systems |
|---|---|
| Series production with constant volumes | Flexible production with varying batch sizes |
| Automated production lines | Individual batch processes |
| Continuous material flow | Batch processing |
| High system throughput | High process flexibility |
