For a leading North American manufacturer of forged aluminum suspension components, the furnace system will be integrated into a completely automated forging cell expansion, with a controls and part tracking system, for heating aluminum billets prior to forging of automotive suspension components. Can-Eng’s patented rotary hearth furnace technology provides optimal part handling and temperature profile parameter flexibility within a small floor space.
This project reflects a long list of recent projects involving automotive light weighting initiates where Can-Eng technologies have been favored in delivering the lowest cost of ownership per unit of production. Automotive manufacturers continue to pressure supply partners in developing systems and components that deliver weight reduction benefits yielding reduced vehicle fuel consumption.
Can-Eng’s rotary furnace systems continue to replace conventional in-line continuous belt-style heating systems, as they offer superior footprint, energy consumption, and maintenance requirement benefits.
