UTAB has extensive experience in the retrofitting and modernization of industrial furnaces and heat treatment facilities. We help our customers adapt existing facilities to meet new production requirements, achieve higher capacity, improve energy efficiency, and increase operational reliability.
Many older furnaces have a robust basic structure and, with the right measures, can have their service life significantly extended while their functionality, safety, and performance are modernized. Through retrofitting, existing equipment can be adapted to new processes and today’s requirements without having to replace the entire facility.
Our retrofits may include, among other things:
Over the years, UTAB has built up extensive technical expertise in industrial furnaces and heat treatment. Thanks to our history and the collective experience of several generations of Swedish furnace manufacturers, we have access to an extensive technical archive containing drawings, documentation, and knowledge of both older and modern furnace systems. This gives us unique capabilities to understand, troubleshoot, and modernize even older facilities where documentation is sometimes missing or incomplete.
By combining modern technology with extensive experience in industrial
Electrifying a furnace is not just a technological shift – it is a step towards more competitive and future-proof production.
With electric heating, direct emissions from combustion are eliminated. When using renewable electricity, the process can be practically fossil-free.
Electric heating elements convert energy directly into heat with very little loss, providing efficient and stable operation.
Electric heating provides a cleaner and quieter working environment without exhaust fumes, open flames or combustion-related noise. It also reduces the need for fuel handling and contributes to a safer, more pleasant and easy-to-maintain production environment.
With our combined experience in furnace technology and heat treatment, we can offer tailor-made solutions that are both technically and economically optimized. We work closely with our customers to ensure a smooth transition and a solution that works in practice – not just on paper.
