Is it possible to modify a furnace to adapt it to our specific needs?

Of course because we are a manufacturer and we have at our disposal all the materials and spare parts to modify a standard furnace. For example, we regularly make modifications at our customers’ request for:

- making a hole in a door or behind the furnace,
- changing the regulator or adding recorders,
- updating the security performances,
- injecting a protective or reaction gas inside the furnace,
- mounting an automatic door,
- adapting a load support,
- connecting the furnace to a supervision or ERP system,
- making a ceramic or refractory steel muffle customized.

Our experience showed us that it’s much more economic to modify an existing standard furnace rather than building a special furnace.
