Qatar Aluminium Extrusion Co. (Qalex) recently received a nitriding system. The aluminum profiles manufacturer wanted to equip a second extrusion plant with an independent nitriding furnace to save on handling, processing time, and costs associated with having to transport extrusion dies back and forth from its first factory for nitriding work.
The client chose a compact system from Nitrex, an international provider in surface treatment with North American locations. The model NXK-1015 furnace is equipped with process technology designed for nitriding extrusion dies.
Marcin Stokłosa, project manager at Nitrex Poland, said, "Qalex was . . . very pleased with our technical support and spare parts accessibility. What they ordered is an exact copy of the first Nitrex installation – an identical configuration with the same furnace model, size and process technology."
Installation and startup were completed in January 2022.
