Bogie Hearth Furnaces: Powering India’s Industrial Future with Technotherma

As India accelerates towards a greener future with electric vehicles (EVs) and sustainable manufacturing, industries are rethinking their heat treatment processes. At the heart of modern steel, automotive, and heavy engineering production lies the Bogie Hearth Furnace—a workhorse designed for flexibility, precision, and efficiency.

At Technotherma India Pvt. Ltd., we have been at the forefront of furnace manufacturing for over 50 years, delivering cutting-edge electric and gas-fired Bogie Hearth Furnaces that meet the evolving demands of industries across India and beyond.

What is a Bogie Hearth Furnace?

A Bogie Hearth Furnace is a heat treatment furnace where the hearth (or base) is mounted on wheels (bogies) and can be moved in and out of the furnace chamber. This design allows for easy loading and unloading of large, heavy, or bulky components such as:

Steel castings and forgings
Large machine parts
Automotive components
Heavy fabrication assemblies

Because of its versatility, the Bogie Hearth Furnace has become a preferred choice for industries looking for efficient, safe, and scalable heat treatment.
