We are pioneers in the development and commercialization of unique
process heating technologies that have raised worldwide performance standards and expectations.
These technologies include low-mass furnaces and kilns that radically reduce firing times and energy costs, continuous furnaces with significantly increased throughput and minimized operating expense,
high temperature furnaces to 1800°C, and integrating automation and abatement systems.Our furnaces meet pyrometric requirements of AMS 2750H (formerly AMS2750G), NADCAP AS7102, MILSPEC H6088, BAC 5621, Rolls Royce RPS 953 and DPS 1.700.Our expertise is in designing and manufacturing of
high temperature thermal process equipment used to produce parts for the oil,
aircraft and space,
advanced materials, bio ceramics,
glass and
ceramic membraneindustries. Our business is
application driven and requires in-depth knowledge of various thermal processes. We custom build a wide range of equipment ranging from a simple batch furnace to complex, fully
automatedcontinuous systems with or without
atmosphere to exact customer requirements and specifications. The company is classified as NAICS 333994.
The Keith
Dual Chamber Heat Treat Furnace features a 2250°F upper
hardening chamber and a 1250°F lower recirculating chamber for
tempering/drawing. The over/under configuration of the two chambers saves floor space and allows for immediate tempering or drawing after quench without waiting for the hardening furnace to cool for tempering or drawing applications. Our dual heat treating furnaces come in a large variety of chamber sizes with other optional features and upgrades to better meet your heat treating requirements.
Keith's
Dual Chamber Furnaces are designed for those who want a hardening furnace and a separate furnace for tempering all within minimum floor space.
Over the years, Keith Company successfully integrated
Recco Furnaces,
CFF Kilns & Furnaces and
KMI Refractories into the organization and we are now one company. Our customers benefit from partnering with a one-stop source for all their industrial heating product needs.
