Heatwave Furnace manufactures and exports high-performance Pit Type Furnaces, trusted by industries for their reliability, versatility, and space-saving design. Widely used for tempering and heat treatment of aluminum, these furnaces allow for easy loading and unloading of parts by simply lifting the lid and handling them via hooks.

We have delivered numerous Pit Type Furnaces across India, and our deep understanding of regional industrial requirements ensures optimal furnace specifications for diverse applications.

Overview & Benefits

Pit furnaces are ideal for a wide range of heat treatment processes, especially when processing heavy, long, or bulky components. Their vertical loading design and compact footprint make them a cost-effective alternative to large batch or box-type furnaces.

These furnaces are commonly used for:

  • Tempering (250°F to 1,400°F)
  • Heat treating aluminum (250°F to 1,100°F)
  • Annealing of mild steel wire
  • Tempering of automotive components

Why choose Pit Furnaces?

  • More affordable than other industrial furnace types
  • Suitable for high-volume or heavy-load processing
  • Require less floor space and lower maintenance time
  • Capable of multiple thermal processes
  • Often the only practical solution for very large or long loads

Applications

Pit Type Furnaces are used in a wide range of industrial heat treatment operations:

  • Aluminum solution treating
  • Nitriding and steam treating
  • Annealing and hardening
  • Carburizing and vacuum heat-treating
  • Tempering

Key Features

  • Operating temperatures up to 1000°C
  • Uniform heat distribution within ±5°C across the working area
  • Highly efficient atmospheric circulation system
  • Optimized load cooling systems for faster cycle times
  • Built with advanced, up-to-date equipment and accessories
