Fastener Manufacturer Invests in Belt Furnace for Tempering of Automotive Parts

STALMAX, a manufacturer of fasteners, is investing in a belt furnace for tempering in a protective atmosphere. The provided equipment is designed for hardening fasteners, such as bolts and nuts, intended for the automotive industry. The main element of the line is a belt furnace equipped with a muffle, in which the heat process is conducted in a protective endothermic atmosphere.

The applied design solutions allow for a high evenness of temperature uniformity to be achieved. The automated process of the work of the ATG processing line by SECO/WARWICK, equipped with a weighing system, enables a precise loading of the treated elements on the hardening furnace belt.

STALMAX vice president, Robert Jeż, says, “SECO/WARWICK with their solutions answers real manufacturing needs, and ATG-type line is a guaranteed fulfillment of the industry’s and the clients’ requirements. The partner has not only offered an excellent furnace, but also protected us in case of an unwanted failure. In accordance with individual needs, components of element coding have been introduced and are connected to the alarm base (PLC) and electric documentation of the control system. Such a solution allows to immediately identify the failure and the damaged element.”
