Heat treat equipment to modernize a turbine manufacturing facility has recently been delivered to the client. Included in the order were a single chamber high vacuum furnace with high pressure gas quenching and a separate vacuum tempering furnace with built-in nitriding capability and auxiliary equipment.
With a pressing production start date, all units were pre-accepted, including a hot test process run after five months. Heat treat parts supplier was ALD Vacuum Technologies GmbH (ALD). “Many of us put our hearts and souls into making this happen,” wrote Joachim Boss, vice president of Heat Treatment at ALD. “Special thanks go to our mechanics team with Andy Adler and to the electrical engineering and commissioning pair, Rico Englert and Markus Kunkel.” The company also highlights Natalie Roemer and Joachim Boss, who accompanied the project from its very start back in 2013 to its 2021 conclusion.
