Meapforni has strengthened its internal and external sales network in order to continue to develop new markets and acquire new customers – creating further synergies and alliances.

Located in Fontanafredda, north east of Italy, Meapforni Srl specialises in turn key applications related to furnace production for heat treatment. “Our four decades of experience in the field of furnaces and metal treatment lines enable us to meet a variety of needs regarding processing and treatment,” states Meapforni. 

The company can cover a variety of applications, not only regarding the project but also processes and metallurgical aspects. “Thanks to the skills and knowledge of our technical staff we are able to constantly look for innovative and energy saving solutions for heat treatment,” points out Meapforni. “This means we can produce furnaces for the treatment of ferrous and non-ferrous components.”

Meapforni’s range of products include automatic batch type lines, mesh belt lines, rollers lines, rotative furnaces integrated into robotised cells, vacuum furnaces up to 20 bars, low pressure nitriding furnaces, low pressure carburising furnaces, as well as aluminium solubilisation and ageing. 

Recently Meapforni has been concentrating on the fastener sector in particular, where it believes it is able to supply high-level solutions to meet the sector’s needs. A prime example is the company delivering and installing a new mesh belt line, with a 1,000kg/hour capacity, to a European fastener producer. The line is completely automatic and includes loading from parts box, pre-washing, carburising furnace and oil tank, post washer, as well as a tempering furnace to reduce installation time by 30%. 

“This is a typical product line that we are able to offer fastener producers – a complete automated system, both in an electric or gas heated version, with a capacity between 250kg/hour – 1,000kg/hour,” mentions Meapforni. “As an Italian company we are very proud to produce and deliver top of the range solutions that are not only innovative but provide constant quality and productivity over a long period.”

Meapforni also looks to provide products that are digitised to make the systems more efficient and help with diagnosis. “Digitisation has always been one of our strong points and today our lines are equipped with a number of systems that help operators.”

In addition to producing high-quality products, the company also looks to provide first class support and service to customers. “We make sure we have a direct line with all our customers, not only in the pre-order phase but also in all subsequent points. We also look to customise our solutions to meet specific needs,” reports Meapforni. “As a business we pride ourselves on the quality of our products and services and aim to serve customers to the best of our ability.”
