STE designs furnaces for most applications from compact workshop units to large industrial bogie hearth furnaces. The furnaces are produced to suit a range of heat treatment process requirements, including :

- Annealing, Ageing, Hardening, Solution heat treatment, Normalising, Stress relieving.

STE ovens provide an excellent solution to the strict temperature uniformity requirement for heat treatment of today's specialised materials. STE's ovens are designed to carrying out a variety of thermal processes on metal alloys, glass and composite materials, providing flexible and cost effective solutions.

Heat treatment processes, include post weld heat treatment of vessels, spheres and other fabrications, curing of coatings, refractory dry-outs utilising Cooperheat high velocity gas / oil burners. The versatility and relative ease of transportation allows the required heating process to be applied at site or workshop anywhere in the world.

Mineral wool insulation is applied to outside of the sphere or vessel to contain the heat. Cooperheat high velocity burners are fired through the top/ bottom man-way. Thermocouples are used to accurately monitor the temperature. This method turns the spheres/ vessel into its own furnace.

Various types and configurations of vessels & storage tanks may be post weld heat treated by insulating the vessel/ storagetank on the side. Then, fired internally & exhausted through suitable, available openings. Cooperheat high velocity burners enable excellent temperature distribution & uniformity all times due to the intense scrubbing action.

Cooperheat burners have the necessary power to also carry out solution annealing to temperatures up to 1200C following strict safety procedures and risk assessment.

Cooperheat regularly supply specialist equipment & personnel to construct temporary furnaces at sites. It's an idea solution for heat treatment of fabrications & structures when internal firing is not a practical/ cost effective option. Heat treatment can be carried out using Cooperheat high velocity burners. This can be more cost effective if customer constructs the furnace framework.

Cooperheat high velocity burners is an effective method of curing & driving out moisture from refractory materials used in process industries such as steel, petrochemical, aluminium, glass & other diverse applications. Work under carefully controlled consitions, we eliminate the risk of damage that can be caused by spalling & extend the life of refractory.

The high turn down ratio of Cooperheat high velocity burners, coupled with suitable air volume change ratios, enables excellent temperature control. This is important when operating at the low temperatures normally required for the curing of tank & vessel protective coatings -paints, phenolics, epoxy resins & rubber linings.
