The DMP CryoFurnace has an upper temperature limit of 650°C and low limit of -185°C, and it can be built in a variety of sizes and loading configurations.

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.

AFC-Holcroft received an order from Peters’ Heat Treating for a UBQ (Universal Batch Quench) integral-quench furnace and two 1400°F gas-fired UBT (universal batch temper) furnaces. The equipment will be integrated into an existing complete UBQ furnace line purchased previously from AFC-Holcroft and adds an additional 3,500-pound gross load capacity to the existing line at Peters’ facility in Meadville, Pa.
