More width. More possibilities. – The new Hi Way Furnace
Czech, September 09, 2025. At the Czech plant, BENTELER Maschinenbau has further developed its proven furnace concept for hot forming: The Hi Way Furnace.
With a usable width of 3,000 mm (total 3,200 mm), it enables double door rings to be retracted in a transverse shape for the first time – a clear extension of the range of applications.
The system not only offers more possibilities in terms of component diversity. Thanks to the new entry direction, compact, practical furnace lengths are now possible – an advantage with limited space.
Proven technology in detail
- Modular design for easy expansion, transport and installation
- Maintenance-friendly roller drive outside the furnace chamber
- Long-lasting "cactus rolls", especially suitable for coated boards
- Flexible heating: Gas or electric
- Optionally available as a twin solution for higher throughput
In addition to the furnace, we supply the entire automation of the hot forming line – from loading to unloading on the press. Tailored and reliable for OEM and Tier 1 customers worldwide.
