The new NX-400 series of nitriding and nitrocarburizing systems from Nitrex Metal is designed for use in small-scale processing, as well as for general laboratory and testing purposes. According to the company’s press release, the furnaces have a compact construction that makes efficient use of restricted floor space in a plant. Available in three standard sizes, ranging in workload capacity from 440-880 lbs., the furnace, control system and auxiliary equipment are integrated and mounted on a platform for secure transport by forklift. Alternatively, the system may be physically separated back into individual components at the customer’s request. The NX-400 series comes plug-and-play ready, which simplifies installation.
