Industrial oven engineeringby Ihne & Tesch
Ihne & Tesch develops and manufactures industrial oven systems and preheating equipment for production heating, drying and tempering processes. Since 1969, we have built industrial ovens, dryers and custom systems engineered around the application, workpiece, temperature range, airflow and production sequence rather than selected from a catalogue.
Our range extends from continuous ovens, continuous radiant heaters and bogie hearth ovens to laboratory dryers, drawer ovens, silo and hopper dryers, convection/fresh-air ovens, heating chambers and heating plates. These systems cover industrial processes from preheating and drying to tempering and subsequent thermal treatment of components and materials.
Industrial thermal processes – not simply an oven type
The oven type alone is not decisive; correct system design is essential. Our engineering team plans and implements oven systems together with the customer, including temperature control, airflow, loading, internal construction, controls and production interfaces. The result is a dependable oven solution that delivers repeatable results and fits the manufacturing process.
- Industrial oven engineering for heating, drying and tempering processes since 1969.
- Individual design to suit the workpiece, temperature range, airflow and production sequence.
- Oven systems for plastics, metals, electronics, semiconductors, cables, films, laboratories, medical technology, chemicals and special applications.
- Control equipment, loading, internal construction and interfaces are specified together with our engineering team.
- Spare-parts supply and technical support are also available for legacy systems.
