Box furnaces are used for treating batches of components. The size and shape of a box furnace will largely depend on what type of component you're heating, how many of them per batch, and what heating cycle you require. The furnace will have a door on one or more sides, and may have a retort to contain a controlled atmosphere. Depending on the temperature and the type of heating required, it may need to have a circulation fan to distribute the heat evenly, especially at low temperatures.

We have built box furnaces for a great deal of applications. Temperatures can range from 100⁰c to 1400⁰c, either with controlled atmosphere (more common the higher the temperature) or just air. The lowest cost box furnace can start from around £7000-00, and prices tend to rise with complexity and temperature requirement.
