CAN-ENG’s new system was commissioned for the hardening and tempering of high volume fasteners and includes a computerised loading system, mesh belt controlled atmosphere hardening furnace, oil quench system, mesh belt tempering furnace, pre and post wash systems, and a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system – integrating enhanced features to support compliance with CQI-9 guidelines.

The continuous quench and tempering system incorporates enhanced energy reduction design features, achieved through the benefits of recuperative burner technology providing improved system efficiencies and reduced emissions.
