Fluidtherm is one of India's leading manufacturers of industrial furnaces. Based in Chennai,India the company incorporated in 1985 has designed and built world-class furnaces for the global Heat Treatment, Powder Metallurgy & Mineral Processing industries.
For the Heat Treatment Industry, we manufacture mostly continuous furnaces for hardening & tempering, carburising & carbonitriding, nitriding & nitrocarburising, austempering, annealing, normalising, solutionising as well as ovens for drying, baking, ageing and other low temperature processes.
For the PM, MIM & AM industry we manufacture mesh belt, roller hearth, pusher, walking beam, bell / elevator, retort and continuous band furnaces for debinding, sintering, sinter hardening, sinter brazing, steam treatment, powder annealing and bimetal bonding.
We also provide turnkey custom furnace solutions for non-standard applications involving metal components & particulate materials.
Fluidtherm's Chennai campus is home to our entire R & D and production operations including modelling, simulation and design;process and product prototyping; control software and remote maintenance.
By performing all these activities in-house we are able to closely oversee every step of the entire business process ensuring that the highest quality is maintained at all stages.
Fluidtherm maintains a versatile thermal process prototyping facility for characterising and optimising thermal processes and equipment.
Recent developments made in this facility include the development of;
- Pownite® patented process for the strengthening of low alloy sintered parts by gas alloying.
- Boiler-less batch & continuous furnaces for steam treatment.
- Metal muffle pusher furnace for continuous nitrocarburising with post oxidation.
- Development of process parameters for bainitic transformation by hot gas quenching.
- Pownox® - a novel process for surface oxidation.
- The CAG-Q process for the continuous carburising of sintered gears, the Low Gas Consumption mesh belt furnace with atmosphere lock doors.
- The close pitch roller hearth furnace with pressure gas quenching for hardening, sintering, brazing & several other processes.
