Many older furnaces and combustion systems are still in operation even though their components, control systems, and documentation no longer meet today’s requirements and standards. We help you modernize and upgrade the safety of your facility to ensure safe, reliable, and future-proof production.
UTAB specializes in upgrading control and safety systems, replacing safety-rated components, conducting risk assessments and safety audits, and inspecting piping and pressurized systems. Many facilities contain components that have exceeded their technical service life or systems that lack documentation and ongoing supervision in accordance with applicable requirements.
We help our customers meet current requirements in accordance with applicable directives, regulations, standards, and norms—such as the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, AFS, PED, EGN, and SS-EN ISO 13577 (safety requirements for industrial furnaces and associated combustion and fuel systems)—to create a safe and secure work environment with high operational reliability and a reduced risk of downtime and accidents.
By combining modern technology with an understanding of existing processes, we can carry out upgrades efficiently and with minimal impact on production.
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.
