Our equipment, our capacity
2 mesh belt furnace lines
These are designed to cope with larger volume batches in an economic manner and have oxygen probe controls to constantly monitor the condition of the furnace atmosphere to produce an excellent surface finish. Both plants include auto loading equipment to create a greater continuity of specification and a minimum risk of distortion.
5 auto loaded shaker hearth lines
One of the furnaces is currently being modified to allow the continuous oil hardening of components.
These all discharge into conveyorised salt baths. Three of these furnaces include automatic driers as part of the continuous process. Having this range of shaker hearth furnaces enables us to deal with the variety of parts and range of specifications existing within our wide customer base.
2 smaller shaker hearth basket furnaces
These discharge into baskets rather than to a belt and are designed to deal with our requirement for small to medium sized batches. They are especially suited to handling small components with the minimum of losses; particularly useful for treating prototypes. These furnaces, due to their size are more able to cope with rapid temperature change to allow varying hardness specifications.
1 sealed quench furnace
We also operate an atmosphere sealed quench furnace and are able to offer oil harden and temper, annealing, stress relieving, ageing and low temperature treatments.
2 vibratory deburring bowls
Complete with a dryer these bowls enable us to deburr parts on site. Our aim is to be able to deburr your parts whilst they are waiting delivery / collection. We believe this will shorten your lead time by effectively removing one link from the supply chain.
