Anneal and Quench System Boosts Production and Meets Aerospace Requirements

A vacuum molded casting manufacturer in Pennsylvania sought to expand production capacity to support projected growth while ensuring full compliance with Aerospace Material Specification (AMS) 2771. A solution was needed to deliver consistent, high-quality output while meeting stringent aerospace performance and traceability requirements.

HeatTek’s engineering team designed and built a horizontal solution anneal and quench system capable of meeting both the customer’s increased capacity goals and the rigorous AMS 2771 standards. The system was engineered for precise process control, repeatable performance, and seamless integration into the facility’s existing workflow to ensure compliance without sacrificing throughput.

The new solution heat treat system has enabled the manufacturer to consistently produce high-quality parts at elevated volumes, meeting both internal production targets and customer delivery schedules. The installation has also drawn interest from other manufacturers who have observed the system’s performance, leading to new business opportunities.

HeatTek maintains a strong partnership with the customer, providing spare parts and conducting annual combustion system inspections in accordance with NFPA 86. This proactive service approach ensures the system continues to operate safely, efficiently, and in compliance with applicable industry standards.
