Heat Treating and Processing Equipment
How to find heat treating and processing equipment for your companyBy Missy Duncan More and more companies prefer in-house heat treating instead of shipping items to a heat treating company. There are many benefits to in-house heat treating and processing. With in-house equipment you have full control of the quality and time of the heat processing. In-house heat treating equipment also reduces costs over time. Most small companies that send out five or more products a week to be heat treated can pay for one heat treating machine within one year in shipping costs alone.
In-house heat treating and processing give companies freedom to choose when, how and how long heat treating items take. When you ship an item to a heat treating company you are at that company's mercy and may have to wait longer than expected for the items to return. To find the right type of heat treating equipment, choose between three different options:
1. Decide on a budget and discuss if your best option is to buy surplus or used heat treating equipment.
2. Review the amount of heat treated items that pass through the company on a regular basis, to see if your company requires automatic heat processing equipment.
3. Select manual heat treating machinery if your company does small to medium amounts of heat treating.
Save money with used or surplus heat treating equipment
Used or surplus heat treating and processing equipment saves companies up to 50% of the price of new heat treating equipment. Companies who refurbish and sell used equipment thoroughly test the equipment before putting any heat treating or heat processing equipment on the market.
Try:
Look at photos of available surplus heat treating equipment available from various dealers at Surplus Record. Park Thermal refurbishes used furnaces, melting ovens and quench tank systems. Visit the Access Used Furnaces website to sort through a variety of used heat treating and heat processing machinery.
Buy automated industrial heat treating equipment
Automated heat treating and processing equipment is used by companies that do large amounts of heat treating at one time. These automated systems use conveyor belts, flippers and other equipment so that one person can heat treat large quantities as fast as possible.
Try:
Nitrex carries automated nitriding and nitrocarburizing furnaces and auxiliary equipment used in heat treating. Visit the Ajax Tocco site for a variety of automated machines in various sizes. Find elevators, conveyors, and high temperature and duel chamber heat treating machinery at Lucifer Furnace, Inc.
Find manual heat treating equipment
Suppliers of heat treating equipment provide companies with smaller equipment that takes longer to use. Manual equipment is cheaper than its automated counterparts. For companies that are just starting out or for companies with smaller amounts of heat treated items, these machines are a good way to go.
Try:
Dayco, Inc. sells direct fired air heaters, indirect fired air heaters, recirculation air heaters, make up air heaters and combustion systems. Find small manual heat treating and processing equipment at MRF Furnaces.
- The skills required to operate heat treating equipment vary by machine. Review all of the information and guidelines before purchasing any heat transfer equipment.
