A large metals and mining company has awarded a contract to design and manufacture two 50,000 lb load capacity furnaces. These custom engineered furnaces will support the manufacturing of critical metal hot rolling machine components used in the production rolling of high value-added automotive steel sheet and plate.
Can-Eng Furnaces International, Ltd. (CAN-ENG), a global provider of thermal processing systems, was able to identify areas of improvement within the customer's existing heat treatment system which allowed them to develop a concept that suited the customer's needs.
The two systems, although located side by side, will utilize completely independent control systems allowing for ultimate flexibility for schedule and maintenance. Both furnaces will be interconnected to the larger plant wide system for data acquisition and trending capabilities with Can-Eng’s support.
