Home  /  Our Products  /  Furnaces  /  Pusher Furnace
A Pusher Furnace is a type of continuous heat treatment furnace designed for high-volume production. It uses a pusher mechanism to move trays, baskets, or workpieces through different temperature zones in a controlled and consistent manner. These furnaces operate in gas-fired, oil-fired, or electrically heated configurations and are widely used in metallurgical, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries.
How a Pusher Furnace Works
  • Loading - Workpieces or trays are loaded at the furnace entrance.
  • Pushing Mechanism - A mechanical or hydraulic pusher moves the material through different heating zones.
  • Heating Zones - The furnace has multiple temperature zones for precise heat treatment.
  • Cooling Zone - After processing, the material enters a controlled cooling or quenching chamber.
  • Unloading - Treated parts exit the furnace automatically for further processing or storage.


Key Features of Pusher Furnaces
  • Continuous & Automated Operation - High productivity with minimal manual handling.
  • Uniform Temperature Distribution - Ensures consistent mechanical properties.
