Can-Eng Furnaces International, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, was awarded a contract to design and supply a high-temperature plate processing austenitizing furnace system. The system will produce critical wear components used in ground-engaging equipment that operates in severe service conditions. The customer was not named.

Austenitizing is the high-temperature step that precedes quenching when hardening steel. The new system is designed to provide precise temperature control, metallurgical consistency, and production capacity for heavy-duty applications.

The furnace uses an air-cooled walking beam design that allows waste heat to be recovered and used as part of the building’s heating system. Engineered to accommodate plates up to 8 ft (2.44 m) wide, the walking beam configuration minimizes product distortion while providing reliable material handling throughout the heat treatment cycle.

Thermal input is supplied by direct-fired, auto-recuperative burners, which provide efficient heat transfer while reducing fuel consumption. Furnace combustion, process control, and walking beam motion are integrated through a Siemens S7-1500F programmable logic controller.

Can-Eng has more than 60 years of experience designing and manufacturing walking beam furnace systems for customers worldwide. The ISO 9001:2015-certified company supplies thermal processing systems for steel, aluminum, and other metals.
