The first of five new mesh belt temper furnaces was shipped from Michigan manufacturer to the southern U.S. The second and third furnaces are ready for the next phases of production, and they all will be used for preheating and tempering of steel bar stock.
Premier Furnace Specialists, Inc./BeaverMatic has scheduled the first installation for the last week of August. The remaining four will be completed and installed through January 2024. These furnaces are natural gas fired with an operating temperature of 1600°F. They have thirty-six inch wide mesh belts capable of 2000 lbs per hour. The furnaces are all operated through a 23.8” HMI color touch screen interface.
“We built them a similar furnace in 2022,” commented Steve Ignash, sales engineer at Premier. “The [latest] system was designed, built, and tested at our new 40,000 square foot facility in Farmington Hills, MI.”
