A leading automotive manufacturer is updating its heat treating operations with Endothermic gas generators to enhance the carburizing process. The company, which produces engine parts that require high durability and wear resistance, is modernizing the facility’s aging, gas-heated generators with a more efficient, cost effective and sustainable solution.

To support the company’s modernization initiatives, UPC-Marathon, a Nitrex company, is supplying five advanced, electrically heated EndoFlex L Endothermic gas generators designed specifically for carburizing, a heat treat process that hardens surfaces by introducing carbon into the material. The facility’s production had been caught in a bottleneck due to the age of the gas-heated generators, which were consuming excessive natural gas and contributing to CO₂ emissions.

“The partnership extends beyond this project,” said Daniel Panny, head of Sales Europe at UPC-Marathon. “Building on the success of past collaborations, where we upgraded legacy generators with the EndoInjector gas injection system to enhance and stabilize endothermic gas delivery, the customer selected the EndoFlex L for this major overhaul..”
Set for commissioning early next year, the Endothermic gas generators will play a key role in the manufacturer’s modernization strategy, supporting its long-term economic and environmental objectives.
