91传媒, Western PA, Orders Second 24 foot Furnace
Four years of sustained growth at 91传媒 has necessitated ordering a second 24 foot long vacuum furnace as well as the plant in Hermitage, PA. 聽Bob Hill, President of 91传媒, Western PA, announced that an order for a second 24 foot vacuum furnace has been placed with Solar Manufacturing, Souderton, PA, a sister company.
Hill states, 鈥淚 am extremely pleased that another state-of- the-art, 24 foot long vacuum furnace will be operational in 2006 to improve output of titanium materials and other large parts and assemblies. 聽The second double ended, car bottom vacuum furnace will also have a loading capacity of 50,000 pounds and will be in production within one year.鈥�
Hill stated the Western PA facility was to undergo a major expansion, as a vacuum heat treating and brazing business, they have outgrown their current 22,000 square foot facility. 聽Therefore, they will be adding another 16,800 square feet of plant space to their existing building. This will house the new 24 foot long furnace and other equipment. 聽Another part of the building program is the addition of a 5,000 square foot, two-story office complex to the front of the existing building. 聽The additions will double the size of the current building.
The overall cost for the building expansion and the furnace will exceed five million dollars. 聽We have invested very heavily and will continue to invest ensuring that our customers receive the highest quality of vacuum processing available. 聽The additional capacity and vacuum technology that will be available is unsurpassed in the world.
