About Car Bottom Furnace
Car Bottom Furnace manufactured by United Enterprises is a heavy-duty batch furnace with a movable, rail-mounted bogie (car) that serves as the hearth, ideal for heat treatment of very heavy components.
Brief Description:
Car bottom furnaces are essentially the same family as bogie hearth furnaces, with strong emphasis on heavy-load handling. They are widely used in heavy forging, casting, defence and shipbuilding industries for tempering, annealing, normalizing, stress relieving and similar processes.
We design our car bottom furnaces with heavy-duty bogie structures, robust rail systems, electro-hydraulic lift doors and high-quality refractory linings. Multi-zone heating, air recirculation fans (for low-temperature use) and PLC / SCADA control deliver consistent results.
Multi-car versions allow one car to be unloaded/loaded while the other is heat-treated significantly improving throughput.
Characteristics:
- Maximum temperature up to 1200C
- Heavy-duty rail-mounted hearth-car (bogie)
- Electro-hydraulic lift door
- Available in electric and recuperative gas-fired versions
- Air-recirculation fans for low-temperature uniformity
- Multi-car option for higher throughput
- Low-density high-quality refractory insulation
- PLC and SCADA-based control

FAQs:
Q: Car bottom vs bogie hearth same thing?
A: Functionally yes; car bottom emphasises the rail-mounted car, while bogie hearth emphasises the bogie carrying the hearth. We use both terms based on customer preference.
Q: How heavy a load can it handle?
A: From a few tonnes to tens of tonnes we engineer the rail, bogie and door drive for the rated load.
Q: Do you offer atmosphere control?
A: No. It is suggested to go with other solutions, which our engineers would be glad to help you with once you connect with us.
