Flexible large-load heat-treating system - no pit, no crane, no compromise
EZ Lynks from AFC-Holcroft is a single-layer heat-treating concept for large parts used in industries such as alternate energy, mining, marine, and earth-moving equipment. It delivers the same process precision as a UBQ batch cell while eliminating the need for pits or bridge cranes. Installation requires no building modification, and its modular layout simplifies expansion and integration into existing production lines
