Modern Heat Treat, a commercial heat treating operation located in Richland Hills, Texas, will soon be receiving their fifth new AFC-Holcroft UBQ (Universal Batch Quench) furnace, size 36-72-44 to accommodate their rapid growth. The addition of another AFC-Holcroft UBQ boosts the customer’s production capacity by an additional 6,000 lbs. gross, and will be a duplicate of existing AFC-Holcroft furnaces already running production.
Separately, the customer added an AFC-Holcroft 9000 cfh EZ Endo Generator, which will service the UBQ lines.
Modern Heat Treat chose the UBQ design to obtain maximum flexibility in controlling their production. As production increased, they have incrementally added new equipment to their line, creating production cells with automatic transportation and controls. Individual furnaces can be idled then restarted easily as needed for maintenance service, changes in process or production.
Said Rudy Saucedo of Modern Heat Treat, referring to the company’s rapid expansion: “Modern Heat Treat is grateful for the wonderful success it had achieved in such a short period of time. We can only credit our customers, our employees, and the relationships we have forged with our furnace and alloy vendors for that success.”
The UBQ furnaces are scheduled to ship third quarter of 2012, with the EZ Endo Generator to follow.
