Innovative Manufacturer: Deltech, Inc.

Designer and manufacturer of electric lab and production scale furnaces

Deltech, Inc., Denver, CO Deltech Logo  

Mary Stevenson, President

 

Briefly describe your company's products and services.

We manufacture electric lab and production scale furnaces for materials science researchers, and industrial ceramics and glass manufacturers.

 

How does your company innovate?

When a scientist or manufacturer approaches us with a unique set of thermal processing parameters, we respond by designing and building a custom solution that meets those unique requirements. This has often resulted in new product lines for Deltech.  

 

Please describe an innovative company product, service, or process.

By developing new solutions for our customers, we have introduced several new product lines, including vertical tubes, glass melt, "rocker", positive pressure, and furnaces that operate at 2000 degrees celsius. One particularly unique design was a furnace that is operated and maintained using robotic arms for use in a radioactive environment.
