Treatment equipment and furnaces
Company Overview
Consolidated Engineering Company (CEC), established in 1959, is a global provider specializing in the design, manufacture, and supply of precision-engineered heat treating equipment. With over 65 years of industry experience, CEC focuses on delivering durable and high-performance solutions for various industrial applications. The company's main fabrication facility is located in Kennesaw, Georgia, USA, supported by a global presence that includes sales, service, and support staff across multiple continents.
Products and Services
CEC offers a comprehensive range of industrial furnaces and heat treatment systems, including Roller Hearth, Drop Bottom, Integral Quench (IQ), Batch (Car Bottom, Tip-up, Bell, Pit, Box, Gantry), Chain Conveyor, Retort, and Pusher furnaces. These systems cater to diverse sectors such as aluminum mills (for sow drying, ingot preheating, extrusion, annealing, and solution treatment), automotive (T4, T5, T6, T7 heat treatment for castings), aerospace (for components like wing spars, blades, and extrusions), railroad (for tanker car parts, wheels, and axles), steel (annealing, normalizing, hardening, tempering), and titanium processing. CEC is recognized for innovations like its patented 3-in-1® heat treating and CleanCast® technologies, which aim to reduce costs, improve quality, and minimize environmental impact in foundry operations. The company also provides custom material handling solutions, process automation design, robotics, and specialized fan engineering.
Engineering and Innovation
CEC's engineering capabilities are supported by advanced tools such as Dassault-SolidWorks, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software. The company maintains an in-house Research & Development department and a product development lab, conducting extensive testing on thousands of metal parts to optimize heat treatment parameters and develop new processes, including over 105 patents. A dedicated AMCA-like fan testing station ensures precise fan performance. This commitment to innovation allows CEC to deliver custom-engineered solutions designed to meet stringent industry standards like AMS 2750 and NADCAP.
Aftermarket Support and Compliance
To ensure operational continuity, CEC offers a robust aftermarket program providing replacement and spare parts for its own equipment, and often for other manufacturers' systems. Services include field support for installation, training, troubleshooting, and equipment modernization. CEC also assists customers in achieving compliance with various industrial heat treatment standards, such as CQI-9, NADCAP, and AMS 2750, through services like Temperature Uniformity Surveys (TUS) and System Accuracy Tests (SAT).
