Ipsen, Cherry Valley, Ill., reports that heat treating firm ThermTech recently purchased another Atlas integral quench batch furnace for carburizing, carbonitriding, and neutral hardening while supporting business from the oil and gas and heavy equipment industries.
As the economy continues to pick up, the company needed to expand its existing Ipsen atmosphere line to keep up with increased demand. Based on the strong performance from the Atlas atmosphere furnace and ancillary equipment installed in 2015, ThermTech recently purchased another Atlas integral quench batch furnace.
“We have worked with several major providers of heat treatment equipment, but Ipsen is among the best for providing support after equipment is purchased,” said Mary Springer, Vice President of ThermTech. Supported by Ipsen’s global ICS (Ipsen Customer Service) Team, ThermTech has received installation and startup assistance, as well as dedicated local support for all its equipment, regardless of the manufacturer.
In a shop where every furnace matters and uptime is critical to success, being able to receive the furnace in a short timeframe was also important. Ipsen offers companies significant time savings with reduced lead time on the Atlas, a modular platform. Overall, Ipsen’s Atlas atmosphere line provides repeatable quality results. This includes achieving consistent, uniform case depth and uniform quench hardness because of the advanced quench system design.
