ENA PATERNOST OVEN / PATERNOST OVEN

Efficient, space-saving heat treatment for continuous processes

ENA Paternoster Ovens – Continuous heat treatment in the smallest space

ENA's paternoster furnaces are specially designed industrial furnaces used for continuous, reliable, and space-saving heat treatments. These state-of-the-art heat treatment systems are particularly suitable for applications requiring a continuous material flow, uniform temperature distribution, and a compact design.

In the application shown, batch carriers are guided vertically through several defined heating and cooling zones via a circulating conveyor system. This ensures homogeneous and reproducible heat treatment of the workpieces throughout the entire process – comparable to high-quality continuous furnaces, but with a significantly reduced footprint.

Ideal for industrial processes with high demands on efficiency and space saving.

Paternoster furnaces combine the advantages of a continuous flow principle with the compact vertical structure of a paternoster system. Compared to conventional industrial furnaces or horizontally oriented continuous furnaces, they offer significant advantages in confined spaces – without compromising performance, temperature distribution, or process reliability.

This makes our paternoster furnace systems the ideal solution for industries such as metal processing, automotive, electrical engineering or plastics engineering, where precise temperature control, high repeatability and automated material flow are essential.

Automated loading and unloading for maximum process control

The fully automated loading and unloading of our paternoster ovens ensures a constant production flow and reduces manual intervention to a minimum. This not only increases productivity but also process reliability, reduces potential sources of error, and lowers operating costs in the long term.

Our systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines and can be linked to both higher-level control systems (e.g. SCADA, MES) and robotics solutions.
