Aalberts Surface Technologies Group will expand their Dzierżoniów, Poland hardening plant with a new AFT process line. The line, based on two-chamber atmosphere furnaces, will boost the plant's manufacturing of transmission components and specialized hardening processes including carburizing, nitrocarburizing, and annealing.
SECO/WARWICK, parent company of North American furnace supplier SECO/VACUUM Technologies, will provide a main furnace, a tempering furnace, and an endothermic atmosphere generator, loading/unloading devices, and auxiliary infrastructure. The line offers both conventional load arrangements with modular accessories and hardening baskets.
"The new line will significantly increase our capacity and will allow us to expand our business to other Eastern European countries,” said Bartłomiej Olejnik, managing director, Aalberts Surface Technologies Heat Sp. z o.o.
