A Midwestern facility of a U.S.-based leader in the manufacture of safety-critical fasteners and assembly solutions has purchased a new MB48-120 mesh belt furnace from AFC-Holcroft.
The new equipment will replace an older AFC-Holcroft installation. The new mesh belt furnace will integrate with existing companion equipment such as a loading system, pre- and post-wash systems, oil quench, and temper furnace.

Delivery and start-up of the new equipment are expected in the first quarter of 2019.
