A heat treater in Ontario, Canada, recently commissioned a 6,600 lb/hr continuous mesh belt atmosphere furnace system from a fellow Canadian furnace manufacturer. CAN-ENG Furnaces International Limited has recently been contracted to design and commission this new system for Metex Heat Treating Limited, which will be commissioned for the hardening and tempering of high-volume automotive critical fasteners, stampings, and assembly components.
The system includes a computerized loading system, mesh belt controlled atmosphere hardening furnace, oil quench system, mesh belt tempering furnace, and pre- and post wash systems.
This recent furnace design integrates enhancements to the radiant heating system that provides Metex with added capacity within a fixed system footprint. This contract will represent Metex Heat Treating’s 6th CAN-ENG Furnace System, providing Metex with over 400,000 lbs./day of continuous atmosphere processing capacity in addition to batch and induction services, which are provided to customers across Canada and the USA.
The furnace line is scheduled to commission in Q4 of 2020.
