Rob Mayer – Queen City Forging Co

Infrared Heating designed and built innovative furnaces for QC Forge that have proven to be rugged and cost effective, providing end results superior to the gas fired alternatives. A complete P/M on a furnace, including renewal of heating elements and replacement of the wear and tear items can be accomplished by two of our maintenance technicians on one shift. Furnace start up is nearly instantaneous, job change over is a simple matter of changing settings on the control panel. The advantage over our induction systems is that there are no additional coil change, concerns with capacitors, SCRs, IGBTs, line interference or a fluid cooling loop. The IR systems simply get up and go, day after day.
