GBM Industries’ Heat‑Treating Ovens
Features, Clients & Case Examples
GBM Industries is a leading Indian manufacturer of industrial ovens and pretreatment coating plants, with over 30 years’ experience in custom thermal equipment. Their product line includes various types of industrial ovens, including heavy‐duty heat‐treating (“draw”) ovens built to client specifications worldwide.
In GBM’s words, their ovens are “meticulously tailored” for each application. Below we explore what makes GBM’s heat‐treating ovens unique and highlight real clients/projects that illustrate their global use.
What Is a Heat‑Treating Oven?
GBM notes these ovens (often called draw batch furnaces) reach above ~510 °C and are used to treat ferrous and non‑ferrous parts such as fasteners, shafts, welded assemblies, steel plates, aluminium ingots, and extrusions.
In practice, a part might be charged cold, heated to the target, soaked, then cooled in a controlled manner. GBM’s heat‑treat ovens follow international process standards and can handle continuous batches of heavy loads.
Key Features
GBM’s ovens incorporate several high‐end design and performance features to ensure reliability and uniform results:
Heavy‑Duty Construction
Thick steel plate outer shell with reinforced door/frame – built for rugged industrial use to withstand thermal cycling.
Custom Heating
Ovens can be electric, gas-fired (natural/LPG), fuel‑oil, or even steam heated based on fuel availability.
High‑Velocity Airflow
Powerful blowers force high‑pressure air through the chamber via combination ducts to eliminate hot spots.
Superior Insulation
High-density, energy-saving insulation (non-settling batt type) to minimize heat loss with aluminized or stainless steel liners.
Temperature & Controls
Reach up to ~500 °C with precise digital PID controllers & data logging for supreme traceability.
Accessibility & Specs
Removable tops/panels for easy maintenance. Designed for 415 V/50 Hz/3φ power with turnkey electrical safety panels.
Featured Equipment
GBM customizes solutions depending on exact production requirements. Here are a few prominent builds:
Batch Ovens
Ideal for heavy or awkwardly shaped parts, offering precise temperature control for aging, curing, or drying.
Conveyor Ovens
Designed for high-volume, continuous production with automated tracking and seamless heating stages.
Advanced Control Panels
Fully automated PLC interfaces providing precision temperature mapping, compliance trailing, and process safety.
Industries & Applications
GBM’s ovens serve many sectors that require thermal processing:
Engine parts, brake drums, frames, fasteners and shafts are heat treated for strength and durability. GBM lists major auto makers and Tier‑1 suppliers (e.g. Honda, Hyundai, Krishna Maruti, Jaquar and others) as clients.
Advanced alloys and composites need precise thermal curing and stress-relieving. (GBM’s ovens can handle niche processes like vacuum or IR curing for aerospace-grade parts.)
Production of motors, generators, and electrical grids involves heat‐baking of laminations, coil curing, and insulating parts. GBM has served companies like BHEL, NTPC, ABB, Toshiba, and Daikin in this sector.
Components for AC units or refrigeration (evaporators, compressors) require baking or annealing. Clients like Daikin, Blue Star, Panasonic, Midea Carrier (and others) use GBM ovens for paint curing and part baking.
Machinery, construction equipment, and manufacturing tools often need heat treatment. For example, GBM announced supplying an electrically heated conveyor oven with forced cooling to a leading power tools manufacturer in Gujarat. This illustrates GBM’s role in heavy‐machinery fabrication – the oven was factory‐tested and delivered under client supervision.
In short, wherever metal parts must be hardened, tempered, annealed or cured, GBM’s ovens are an option. The variety of its client list – from Nippon Paint (coating ovens) to Kirloskar (pumps) to Jindal Stainless (steel) – shows broad adoption.
Notable Clients and Projects
While GBM does not publicly name every end client, its marketing materials do list many well‐known companies. For example, GBM’s company profile and website explicitly list clients such as Honda, Hyundai, Jaquar, Kirloskar, Krishna Maruti, Jindal Stainless (JSL), Nippon Paint, Nisshinbo, Daikin, NTPC, Panasonic, BHEL, Blue Star, and others. (These names appear in GBM’s profile on sourcing platforms, indicating those firms have purchased equipment from GBM.) Such clients span automotive OEMs, HVAC firms, and heavy industry. This “who’s who” of Indian and multinational companies underscores GBM’s credibility.
One concrete example: in January 2026, GBM announced the dispatch of an electrically heated conveyor oven with forced cooling to a Gujarat power tools manufacturer. The blog post (by GBM) notes the oven was fully factory tested with the client’s pre‐dispatch inspection team. While the exact customer name isn’t given, this story demonstrates GBM meeting a major industrial order.
“GBM is pleased to announce the successful dispatch of one electrically heated conveyor oven with forced cooling zone to power tools manufacturers in Gujarat, India. This oven was fully factory tested and adjusted prior to dispatch from our factory in presence of PDI team from client end.”
In another context, GBM references clients like Daikin (HVAC maker) and Nippon Paint (surface coatings), implying use of GBM ovens in HVAC assembly lines or paint plants. By highlighting such brand names, GBM boosts its authority, and these examples lend weight when detailing how its ovens apply to different industries.
