Heat Treatment
|
To Stork Cooperheat, every project is unique and we are often tasked with developing innovative solutions with the application of our equipment to new and emerging heat treatment applications. Clients have the assurance that the depth of our in-house expertise in heat treatment and the compatible disciplines, ensures complete integrity throughout the operation from the development of initial concept through to completion of the process and hand over. Solutions can be provided to apply to metals, non metals, composites, coatings, refractories over temperature ranging from 100 degrees Celsius or less to 1250 degrees Celsius to suit a variety of applications. Low and medium voltage resistance heating elements, induction heating and or high velocity gas or oil combustion burners can supply the energy required, dependent on the circumstances and location. |

The versatility and relative ease of transportation of the equipment allows the heating process to be applied in-situ, on the clients premises or site almost anywhere in the world.
