\n\tAFC-Holcroft, Wixom, Mich., is to install a complete UBQ (Universal Batch Quench) furnace line in one of Fastenal Company’s plants in Winona, Minnesota. The order consists of a UBQ batch furnace sized 36-48-36, two UBT temper furnaces, a spray\/dunk washer, a double-ended transfer car, and a 4500 cfh E-Z series endothermic gas generator. Fastenal is said to be North America’s largest distributor of industrial and construction materials such as screws, bolts, and fasteners.<\/p>\n

\n\tFastenal requested customization to the stock equipment to meet its specific requirements. This is the first installation of heat treat equipment at Fastenal’s Winona location. The equipment is expected to be delivered and installed in the third quarter 2014.<\/p>\n
