The first modernized line is finishing the final testing phase of the project. The repair of the second system will start in November and is scheduled for completion in March of next year.  Due to the positive results from the first system, SEAT Components has placed an order for modernization and refurbishment of next two heat processing lines to improve total system efficiency.

The technical rebuild will cover the replacement of furnace lining, burner system and fan assemblies of both the heat treat and tempering furnaces. Included in the modernization project is the addition of a washing machine and a material handling system. The SEAT Components plant decided to replace the existing control cabinet with new, updated control system.

SECO/WARWICK Group’s Aftermarket Team offers a wide range of services for heat treatment furnaces. We supply a full range of maintenance services focused on keeping the equipment running efficiently. SECO/WARWICK services cover everything from small furnaces repairs to complete equipment modernizations.
