Thermex is in its 45th year of operation!
What better way to mark this milestone than with an ambitious equipment and capacity upgrade plan, which is exactly what we are up to over the next 9 months.
First up is the arrival of our new, largest capacity tempering / stress relieving furnace. With a 36 x 48 x 36” work zone, 3,000lb capacity, and a temperature range of 300 – 1,350F, this furnace will be a versatile workhorse for our carburizing, through hardening, and stress relieving lines, helping reduce bottlenecks and turnaround times.
Capacity Information:
- 36" x 48" x 36"
- 3,000lb weight capacity
Up next, is our new, large capacity induction hardening scanner. Thermex Metal Treating's new, state-of-the-art induction scanner is now operational and processing parts 2.75" and larger.
Capacity Information:
- Up to 18” diameter
- 63” long
- 500lbs per part maximum weight
But most exciting for us is the purchase of a brand-new large capacity internal quench carburizing and through hardening furnace, with related upgrades to our existing equipment, to significantly increase the capacity for carburizing, through hardening and normalizing.
Capacity Information:
- 36" x 48" x 36"
- Variable high speed oil quench, air blast, and top cool chamber for cooling under endo atmosphere.
- 3,000lb weight capacity
Renovations to the shop have begun in earnest to make room for this addition. This effort will result in Thermex operating 5 internal quench furnaces in our shop moving forward.
Stay tuned for updates and details…
