Pusher Furnaces by CM Furnace
For applications requiring advanced Pusher Furnaces for continuous, high volume production, CM has a large family of standard and customizable solutions. These furnaces are designed for the tight control of temperature and atmosphere necessary for processes with long residence times that require exact control. Our systems can safely operate in air, hydrogen, inert and most reducing gas environments. Our focus is on systems that offer the greatest operating life, lowest operating cost, and highest efficiency in your production line.
To achieve that, all our furnaces are designed and built in the USA, and have been for over 70 years.
All our pusher furnace designs incorporate high grade alumina fiber or brick insulation, heavy duty heating elements, and advanced wall construction designs for a long lifetime of low maintenance operation. Our 400A Series utilizes exposed molybdenum grid elements and high alumina insulating brick for our standard temperature range 1880°C (3415°F). The 400Z Series employ exposed tungsten rod elements and zirconia insulating brick for temperatures to 2200°C (3990°F).
Another unique furnace in CM’s line is the CM 500 series that are ideal for phosphor processing among other applications. These pushers are available in single or double configurations depending on throughput requirements. They can be used for either inert or inert/reducing atmosphere applications.
