1) Local Market & Annealing Needs

Metalworking companies in the Philippines produce a wide range of mechanical parts, welded structures and tools. To reduce residual stress and ensure machining and service performance, many components must be annealed. However, numerous plants still rely on small furnaces or outsourced heat treatment, making temperature control and delivery schedules difficult to manage and weakening overall competitiveness.

2) Customer Production Characteristics & Pain Points

The customer is a metalworking factory serving construction and general machinery industries. Their parts vary in size but are mostly small to medium-sized structural pieces. Previously, they used small in-house furnaces and outsourced many annealing jobs, leading to passive scheduling, transport losses and unstable costs. The customer wanted to install an in-house bogie furnace to handle most annealing operations and improve delivery capability.

3) Bogie Furnace Solution & Key Parameters

Wuxi Wondery Industry Equipment delivered a bogie furnace with a 1900×900×900 mm working chamber and a maximum temperature of 900°C:

• Effective dimensions: 1900×900×900 mm, covering most small and medium structural parts;

• Maximum temperature: 900°C, suitable for annealing carbon steels and low-alloy steels;

• Structure: bogie type, allowing workpieces to be clamped on a cold car and then pushed as a whole into the furnace.

The bogie furnace is equipped with multi-point temperature measurement and programmable control. Users can set appropriate heating, holding and cooling curves according to part thickness and material, ensuring uniform and repeatable annealing.

4) Real-World Results & Customer Feedback

After commissioning, the customer shifted most previously outsourced annealing work to the bogie furnace, significantly reducing transport and subcontracting costs. With better temperature control and insulation than their old small furnace, the bogie furnace improved hardness and microstructural consistency, reducing deformation and scrap in subsequent machining.
The customer reported that bogie-style loading reduced time spent in high-temperature zones and improved working conditions. The bogie furnace from Wuxi Wondery is easy to operate, and staff quickly became familiar with the system.

5) Suitable Users & Application Scenarios

For metalworking companies in the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries that mainly process small and medium-sized structural parts, a well-sized bogie furnace can dramatically improve annealing control and quality stability. The 1900×900×900 mm, 900°C bogie furnace solution from Wuxi Wondery Industry Equipment is especially suitable for plants transitioning from outsourced annealing to in-house process control.
