Car Bottom

Optimized processes start with equipment built to your size, temperature and material requirements.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

HeatTek's car bottom ovens and furnaces are custom-designed for a range of low to high temperatures for steel, alloys and aluminum. Our car bottom systems utilize single or multi-zone control options based on the size and temperature creating military and aerospace required uniformities. Car bottom ovens and furnaces can be used for a variety of process including curing, heat treating, stress relief, annealing and post-weld heat treating.

Car bottom systems are used to process aerospace components, automotive structural frames, rail parts and electric motor frames. The same custom approach applies across the industries HeatTek serves, with each system built around the customer’s size, temperature and material requirements.

Car Bottom Features

Available processes: Curing, heat treating, stress relief and annealing
Materials processed: Steel, alloys, aluminum or any other material
Products processed: Aerospace components, automotive structural frames, rail and train parts, and electric motor frames
Temperature Range: 300°F to 2000°F
Quench Options: Car bottom furnaces can be integrated with quench systems utilizing water, glycol-water mixtures or air quench. Temperature, mixture concentration and agitation features are available.
Rail cars: Designed to handle custom loads supported by piers and alloy support beds. Cars are designed to use either attached end walls or vertical lift doors that seal onto soft ceramic blanket insulation. Bottom hydraulic or pneumatic seals are used to seal the cart perimeter giving the best seal.
