Heat treatment line feeder/reloader

Fastener production generally requires a heat treatment step. The heat treatment line is typically fed with bulk bins containing one tonne of product, which takes an hour to treat. It is essential that the flow of product to the heat treatment furnace is accurately controlled. This ensures that the products obtain the required, consistent properties. After treatment the products need to be packed into bins at the end of the line. The bins are normally handled by forklift truck.
