A leading North American aerospace supplier ordered a 36 ft. diameter pancake style rotary hearth furnace for the production of large fixed wing aircraft titanium and nickel based alloy closed-die structural forgings. The open hearth configuration furnace system which allows for more flexible loading and uniform heating, was supplied by Can-Eng International Ltd. and features an advanced low NOx combustion system designed to meet the most stringent environmental and temperature uniformity requirements. Special dual-door design provides the customer with significant flexibility for forging to press manipulation within in their existing plant layout. The system is capable of processing up to 250,000 pound load capacity in a 24/7 production environment. The furnace system complies with thermal performance requirements laid out in AMS2750E, integrates a low shrinkage ceramic fiber lining, unique rotating hearth drive and sealing system. The system is scheduled to be commissioned to the United States in the third quarter of 2017.
