A global producer of highly engineered metal earth moving, construction, and mining wear equipment recently commissioned two large capacity heat treatment furnaces. As part of this turn-key contract, Can-Eng Furnaces International Ltd. designed and commissioned individual tempering and stress relieving furnaces. Both heat treatment systems were assembled and tested at Can-Eng’s Niagara Falls facility prior to shipment and commissioning at the customer’s facility.

The furnace systems were part of a major expansion by the customer to satisfy increased demand for large steel castings and weldments used as part of their equipment designs. Both furnaces are equipped with high efficiency, natural gas-fired heating and recirculation systems that have demonstrated to exceed the requirements of AMS-2750 temperature uniformity. Both systems integrated the company’s preferred PLC hardware, which was upgraded to include a more flexible safety rated PLC over conventional hardwired safety circuits.

ALD’s New Location in Hanau Offers Possible Metallurgical Melting Plants and Heat Treatment Systems

/ FEATURED NEWS, HEAT TREAT NEWS INDUSTRIES
ALD Vacuum Technologies GmbH, supplier of plants and services in the field of vacuum thermal process technology, inaugurated its new site in Hanau. The decision to leave the previous location on the premises owned by Heraeus, a precious metals manufacturer, was made due to Heraeus’ conversion and expansion plans.
It was important for ALD to continue the close interconnection of production, development, test operation and administration at the new site. The Hanau Industrial Park Wolfgang offered a suitable location in the midst of an existing technology cluster. ALD blends in perfectly with the new site’s accumulated expertise in material technology due to the close proximity to the Fraunhofer Science Park and the Fraunhofer Institute for recyclable materials and resource strategy which is currently under construction.The project, including planning, construction and relocation to the new site was realized within only 15 months. The new site comprises a building space of 16.300 m2 for production, research and administration for currently 420 employees, allowing further expansion.

The production factory adjoining the office area offers the possibility to assemble large and complex metallurgical melting plants and heat treatment systems. The production building is equipped with all necessary media to allow hot testing of the plants.

A technology center with the latest ALD plant technology is available for heat treatment services as well as for research and development. Meanwhile, an energy management system was implemented, registering the consumption of resources for all plants, thus enabling a perfect management of resources.

At the new site, ALD will continue to develop innovative processes, products and services in the field of vacuum technology and considers itself well equipped for the future.
