One complete furnace line, consisting of an integral quench batch furnace with an effective load size of 36” x 72” x 56”, tempering furnaces, washing and conveying equipment, controls system and accessory equipment, will be sent to the customer’s manufacturing facility in Benton, Illinois, USA, and another smaller size line with an effective load size of 36” x 48” x 36” will be delivered to Perth, Australia. The size of the line in Benton is noteworthy in that the furnace load size is considered very large by industry standards (furnace has a gross load capacity of 6,000 lbs or 2,722 kg), yet AFC-Holcroft offers this size as one of its standard designs, with numerous installations of this size presently in operation.
“We’ve seen tremendous demand for on the part of manufacturers to continually improve control, quality, consistency and reduce distortion.” stated Tracy Dougherty, Sales Manager at AFC-Holcroft. “The addition of these batch furnace lines will allow Mincon to increase production using brand-new equipment that meets their need for high quality and productivity. We’re excited to be a part of their continued growth in the market.”
