For anyone involved in industrial heating, a critical need of any heat-treatment process is the ability to measure and control both process and product temperature.

AFC-Holcroft supplied a complete UBH line to Amsted Rail, a Chicago-based global leader in fully integrated freight-car systems for the heavy-haul rail market, to meet a growing need for additional heat-treatment capacity. The line includes a batch-style carburizing furnace, two expansion modules to increase endothermic-gas generator output, a rotary-hearth reheat furnace for press quenching and a continuous integrated parts washer and temper furnace. The equipment is scheduled to ship to a joint-venture facility in Eastern Europe in the third quarter of 2018.

Ipsen will deliver a rotary-hearth furnace to one of the largest companies in the aerospace and defense industry. The company will use the furnace to process specialized gears for helicopters. Rotary-hearth furnaces are extremely versatile and designed for both carburizing shallow case depths and for reheating pretreated workpieces. Its high throughput makes it particularly suitable for even temperature distribution.
