A Michigan-based captive heat treater in the precision automotive and specialty fastener industry will receive a 6000 lb/hr continuous mesh belt furnace to complete its new line.
Can-Eng Furnaces International, the provider of the furnace, utilized their Level 2 Automation to enable the heat treater to track product status, diagnose equipment, and provide process data. The system will lower the heat treater’s energy requirements for the hardening furnace and reduce required atmosphere by one-third. The system is equipped with an automated bin-dumping loader, pre-washer, atmosphere-controlled mesh belt hardening system, oil quench, post wash system, temper furnace, in-line soluble oil system, and bi-directional conveyor discharge.
