Metal Treaters Installs Atmosphere Furnace

Ipsen (Ipsen, IL) recently shipped an Atlas batch atmosphere furnace and ancillary equipment – temper, washer, loader, endo generator and load table – to Metal Treaters Inc. (St. Paul, MN). This complete atmosphere system will augment their existing atmosphere equipment and offer a higher level of flexibility with the ability to provide several processes: carburizing, neutral hardening and carbonitriding.

This furnace features a 36 in x 48 in x 38 in (915 mm x 1,220 mm x 965 mm) load size with a 3,500 lb (1,600 kg) load capacity. It also operates at temperatures of 1,450 deg F to 1,800 deg F (788 deg C to 985 deg C) and has a quench oil capacity of 3,500 gal (13,250 L). Equipped with the newest design features and innovations, the Atlas is configured for maximum compatibility and reliability so as to consistently produce quality parts.

With its ability to execute different processes in each sealed-quench furnace, this single-chain model offers a high level of versatility and helps streamline production. It also serves as an ideal option for replacing an older furnace or adding to an existing line to expand production.
