Dross Engineering

In 1973, Jean Armabessaire, President of THERMCO, revolutionized the industry by delivering the first transportable, fully assembled, and ready-to-use iron removal furnace. For over 60 years, Dross Engineering has been offering complete, turnkey solutions for scrap recycling. This was a major innovation at a time when furnaces were built directly on site. Faced with the first oil crisis, manufacturers had to rethink their technologies to reduce energy consumption. At the time, a furnace consuming 150 liters of fuel oil or the equivalent in gas was considered efficient. By 2024, Dross Engineering had more than 150 TRF furnaces installed in 40 countries, confirming its role as a pioneer and leader in the innovative industrial furnace sector.
