CAN-ENG Furnaces International Limited has commissioned a 1,500lb/hr continuous mesh belt atmosphere hardening furnace system for a North American fastener manufacturer.
The system is designed to provide atmosphere hardening and tempering of high volume fasteners and includes a computerised loading system, mesh belt controlled atmosphere hardening furnace, oil quench system, pre and post wash systems, and enhanced part tracking. CAN-ENG also included its ERS™ technology to reduce the overall energy requirements, while maintaining the systems output capacity and product quality.
CAN-ENG explains that the state of the art combustion system integrates new self-recuperative burner technology that provides significant benefits in heating efficiency over conventional recuperative burner technology. To complement the self-recuperative burner technology, this system is fitted with a modern radiant tube heating system, which provides improved system efficiencies and reduced emissions.
Along with this enhancement, CAN-ENG’s atmosphere reduction technologies were included as a secondary means of reducing energy consumption. The system has been integrated with CAN-ENG’s computerised part tracking, recipe control and data archiving system, for process control.
The continuous mesh belt atmosphere furnace system is fully compliant to meet the requirements of AIAG CQI-9 Heat Treatment System guidelines.
“CAN-ENG’s continuous mesh belt atmosphere heat treatment systems are recognised worldwide and meet or exceed stringent quality code requirements.”
