More specifically, this custom furnace will be used to process specialized gears for helicopters. Ipsen plans to deliver the rotary hearth furnace early next year.
Rotary hearth furnaces are very versatile and designed for both carburizing shallow case depths, and for reheating pretreated work pieces. Its high throughput makes it particularly suitable for even temperature distribution, and robotic loading with automated press quenching systems.
