AFC-Holcroft, Wixom, Mich., has supplied two new Universal Batch Quench furnaces to Paulo Products Co., a commercial heat treater headquartered in St. Louis, to be installed at its Kansas City Division. The new equipment, standard 36-48-36 sized units with top cool chambers, was customized to integrate with Paulo’s existing UBQ batch furnaces already in operation.
Each furnace is equipped with a state-of-the-art furnace controls system which will also integrate with Paulo’s existing production and quality control systems. Paulo supports a wide variety of aerospace, automotive, and agricultural customers, many with stringent quality requirements; subsequently the ability to comply with the end user’s reporting requirements is of critical importance.
The equipment is being built by AFC-Holcroft’s partner MATTSA, and will then be shipped to Paulo’s facility in Kansas City for installation. The equipment will be delivered in the second quarter of 2015.
Paulo offers a wide variety of heat treating, brazing, and metal finishing solutions, as well as a broad range of metallurgical and engineering services. In addition to the Kansas City Division, Paulo operates divisions in St. Louis; Nashville; and Murfreesboro, Tenn.; and Cleveland, Ohio.
