With these demands from the industrial and construction markets, VIVA decided to expand its manufacturing capacity, installing an additional extrusion press and nitriding equipment. The new pit furnace has an effective work zone of 39" diameter by 59" high (1000 x 1500 mm) with the capacity to nitride a 4400 lbs. (2000 kg) load. The Nitreg® process technology adapts to the application requirements, achieving a high throughput per extrusion run and scoring a high number of runs per treated die, which in turn optimizes tool life and lowers tooling cost for a faster return on investment.
"We are delighted to do business with VIVA again," states Marcin Stoklosa, product manager at Nitrex. "Fostering customer loyalty is a top priority at Nitrex and key to building an ongoing partnership for future growth."
