Aichelin, Austria, reports that Swedish fastener manufacturer Bulten has commissioned a cast link belt furnace system for the refinement of high-strength-steel screws and nuts. At 80 meters length, the furnace system can produce two tons per hour. It is the second industrial furnace plant for the Swedish Hallstahammar site.
Ten years after its first delivery for this site, Aichelin has now been warded a follow-up order for a second 2000 kg/h cast link belt furnace plant. Thanks to the positive references at Bulten, the current project was finalized within a few months between the first request and the final negotiation. The plant line measures 80 x 10 meters, and weighs around 180 tons. If liquids and components are included, weight is an even 230 tons.
Aichelin is delivering the electrically heated high-temperature hardening furnace and the protective-gas-tight tempering furnace with oil or emulsion hardening baths. Measuring and switching systems are included, as well as the process control system FOCOS 4.0 for the new system (as well as an update of the data acquisition of the existing plant) and a protective gas generator. As with the previous order, the customer provides the loading and unloading device and the component washing machines under its own direction.
