Basketless Aluminum Heat Treating Systems (BHTS) Product is transferred through the Heat Treat system without the use of baskets or carriers. This eliminates the need for baskets, which require continuous repairs and replacement, reducing capital and operating costs. In addition, this concept greatly reduces energy consumption required to process product. Options exist for unique system layouts, which can be integrated into lean manufacturing cells. •Reduction of energy usage lowering $/kg to process •Eliminate ongoing basket repair and capital costs •Improved temperature distribution of the product •Reduction of floor space requirements •Reduce material handling equipment and maintenance costs over conventional systems •Lean manufacturing processing For the processing of aluminum intensive automobile components Unique thermal processing systems for emerging technologies Engine blocks, cylinder heads, structural and suspension components T4, T5, T6, T7 processes, Precision Air Quench Systems (PAQ) and Basketless Heat Treating Systems are available
