Can-Eng Furnaces International Ltd., Niagara Falls, Ontario, announces that it has been awarded a contract from Oregon Products for a continuous high-capacity mesh belt austemper heat treatment system for its saw chains and other forestry cutting products.
“This new furnace is primarily targeted to raise the bar on quality for our harvester chain products, which perform under the highest loads and most extreme conditions,” said Kaitlyn McNaughton, Director of Engineering and R&D Labs.
Can-Eng was favored largely due to its ability to demonstrate consistent bainitic structure metallurgical properties and advanced equipment design expertise, which allowed for a compact system footprint. The austemper system integrates a computerized loading system, pre-wash, atmosphere-controlled mesh belt austenitizing furnace, molten salt quench conveyor, post-quench residual salt removal and recycling, mesh belt parts drying oven, and unloading system.
It also includes the Can-Eng PET system, which provides vital features such as individual lot/product traceability, detailed process data collection, and comprehensive Industry 4.0 equipment diagnostics capability. The system is scheduled for commissioning early 2020.
