Case

Successful Shipment of a High-Temperature Bogie Hearth Furnace to the UK

Customer Background

Our client, based in the United Kingdom, is a specialized manufacturer of aerospace components with a strong focus on advanced heat treatment processes. In recent years, they have expanded their operations and required a high-performance industrial furnace capable of handling larger parts and providing precise temperature control for thermal processing. After comparing multiple international suppliers, they selected Brother Furnace due to our proven track record in high-temperature furnace solutions and our ability to customize to their exact requirements.

Furnace Information

The shipped equipment is a heavy-duty bogie hearth furnace (also known as a bogie type heat treatment furnace), designed for industrial-scale operations. It features the following specifications:

Maximum Temperature: 1700°C

Chamber Dimensions (W x H x D): 850 x 1000 x 1200 mm

Chamber Volume: Suitable for medium-to-large parts

Heating Method: Electric resistance heating using high-temperature alloy elements

Controller: Multi-stage programmable controller with PID regulation and safety interlocks

Power Supply: Configured for UK industrial voltage standards

Additional Features: Bogie car design for easy loading/unloading, fiber-insulated chamber for energy efficiency, and over-temperature protection

Application

The furnace will be used for stress relief and recrystallization annealing of aerospace-grade titanium alloys. This process is essential for improving the material’s mechanical performance and microstructural stability after forging or machining. The customer will also utilize the furnace for ceramic coating treatments on metal parts, which require stable, high-temperature environments.

Packaging and Shipment

To ensure the furnace's safe transport over long distances, Brother Furnace implemented professional export-grade packaging. The furnace was fully wrapped with moisture-proof materials, reinforced with shock-resistant cushioning, and crated in a fumigated wooden box in compliance with international shipping standards. The bogie car and main furnace body were packed separately to optimize space and protect each component. The equipment was then loaded into a 20-foot container and shipped via sea freight to the customer’s facility in the UK.

Conclusion

This shipment is another demonstration of Brother Furnace's global delivery capability. By providing a customized 1700°C industrial bogie hearth furnace, we have helped the customer achieve more efficient and precise heat treatment processes. Brother Furnace will continue to offer reliable, high-performance thermal solutions for industries such as aerospace, metallurgy, ceramics, and materials research.
