The Capi Group has boosted its nitriding/nitrocarburizing capacity with two heat treat furnaces to keep up with the rise in production and new orders from the industrial and automotive sectors.
The Italian gear manufacturer's order of Nitrex's large-capacity nitriding systems "is a continuation of our collaboration, and we look forward to strengthening this partnership further,” says Marcin Stokłosa, project manager at Nitrex.
The Capi Group owns four pit-type nitriding/nitrocarburizing furnaces of the same model type and larger size, which consist of Nitreg® and Nitreg®-C technologies, +/-3°C temperature homogeneity in the retort, and eco-friendly IN-500 exhaust neutralizer to support a clean and green operation.
The new Nitrex furnaces, which comply with the Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS) 2750 for pyrometry and 2759/10 for controlled nitriding, are integrated into the existing production line and connected to a closed-loop water cooling system. The latter is an environmentally friendly feature that recirculates a steady supply of cooling water to cool furnace elements.
The new systems have been operational for a few months.
