Moves into the Big Science market with contract from CERN
ElectroHeat
ElectroHeat Sweden AB, with its head office in Göteborg, makes industrial ovens and heat treatment equipment for industrial companies all over the world. The ovens are used for heating processes that benefit the working life of a component, for example by increasing strength, temperature resistance, ductility, and surface hardness.
Significant order from CERN
By winning its first Big Science contract, an order from CERN, ElectroHeat is stepping into a new market that will involve a greater focus on research and development.
“This is an exciting market for us, with great potential for more business,” says Sales Manager Felix Warnmark.
In the new order ElectroHeat will be designing, constructing, producing, and delivering an 850°C oven for heating steel.
Tight tolerances
The specifications from CERN were strict, including requirements for temperature precision and evenness, and tight tolerances.
“It’s always difficult to know what you’re up against, but we stressed we could satisfy the specifications for tight tolerances. I think that was important, and a key factor in this case.
“Research facilities are an exciting market for us. Success in this first order to CERN can mean a breakthrough. Now we know what to do when this type of procurement crops up, there’s great potential for supplying similar machines to other facilities.”
“This is an exciting market for us, with great potential for more business.”
Installation at CERN in November
ElectroHeat will soon start designing and drawing the oven. It will then be produced and delivered in November 2024.
Felix Warnmark is looking forward to installing the oven on-site at CERN.
“We travel around and install our ovens at many companies in Sweden. It will be interesting to come to something completely different. It’s always been my dream to work with CERN. The particle nerd in me feels it will be really cool!”
