AFC Holcroft, Wixom, Mich., announces that it has supplied a UBQ (universal batch quench) furnace and a UBT (universal batch temper) annealing furnace to Specialty Steel Treating as part of a larger multi-year equipment standardization program intended to replace older equipment provided by another supplier. The UBQ and UBT are near duplicates to equipment recently provided by AFC-Holcroft as part of the same multi-year program.
Specialty Steel Treating has had a long relationship with AFC-Holcroft, and uses several different types of AFC-Holcroft furnaces in its production facilities in Michigan and Connecticut, including multi-row pusher furnaces designed for high capacity output, as well as some large capacity UBQ batch equipment and accessories.
According to Tracy Dougherty, Vice President of Sales at AFC-Holcroft, “The customization of these furnaces combined with state of the art controls and IoT features (remote diagnostics), enable both AFC-Holcroft and Specialty Steel Treating the ability to offer superior quality, performance, and continuous improvement to customers.”
Founded in 1956, Specialty Steel Treating has been performing precision heat treating for more than 60 years. SST is the only approved commercial heat treat company in the country to heat treat certain flight critical and flight safety configurations for prime aerospace and helicopter companies.
