HTD Size-PR LogoA major North American supplier of agricultural and lawn equipment purchased a complete batch austemper line from a U.S.-based supplier of heat treating equipment. The line, consisting of two universal batch quench-austemper (UBQA) units, is equipped with a pre-treatment spray dunk wash, a post-treatment multi-stage washer, pre-heat temper furnaces, a salt reclaiming system, and a salt holding tank.

The AFC-Holcroft batch austemper line also includes an AFC-Holcroft EZ™ 4500 endothermic gas generator that will provide gas to the furnace units. A BatchMaster™ supervisory control system is included in the line, along with calibration mode software.

“This was a great customer to work with for this project,” said Mike Coburn, Technical Sales for AFC-Holcroft. “They fully understood right from the start the environmental and economic benefits of the system.”
