A global automotive corporation’s American-based bearing division placed an order for a mesh belt furnace system for heat treating thrust races, retainer/cages, and washers. The new, CQI-9 compliant production line features built-in flexibility that allows for both neutral hardening and carburizing. Included with the system are an atmosphere controlled hardening furnace, salt quench, two-stage post-quench washing system, salt reclamation unit, temper furnace salt holding tank, and Level 2 SCADA system. The electrically heated system utilizes loading combinations on its belt to meet production requirements while achieving the customer’s required low residence times for the system’s hardener and quench.
Can-Eng Furnaces’ continuous mesh belt heat treatment systems are capable of treating three separate part types, multiple heat treating processes, unique temperature operating ranges, and diverse residence times for each piece of equipment
