Wuxi Wondery Industry Equipment Co., Ltd

1) Background of Line Expansion & Transformation As the tool and fixture manufacturing sector grows in the Philippines, many companies are moving from pure machining to integrated “machining + heat treatment.” After the first bogie furnace had run stably for a period of time, changes in order mix and increased volume caused queues during peak times, making annealing a new bottleneck again. 2) Customer Product Mix & Bottlenecks The customer produces various cutting tools and fixtures, including batch-standard parts and many small-batch, custom fixtures. After installing the first bogie furnace from Wuxi Wondery, most annealing jobs could be done in-house, but during peak order periods, different batches had to queue for the single furnace, impacting delivery schedules. The customer decided to add a second 1900×900×900 mm, 900°C bogie furnace and split workload by part type. 3) Dual-Furnace Configuration & Coordination Wuxi Wondery Industry Equipment supplied a second bogie furnace with the same working dimensions and temperature rating as the first: Working chamber: 1900×900×900 mm; Maximum temperature: 900°C; Control: same controller model and HMI. The two bogie furnaces are scheduled by part category: one focuses on high-volume standard parts, while the other mainly handles custom fixtures, small-batch trials and urgent orders. This reduces interference between different annealing recipes. A unified control system makes it easier for supervisors to monitor the status of both bogie furnaces. 4) Post-Expansion Operation & Customer Experience After the second bogie furnace was commissioned, annealing queues were significantly reduced. Standard parts and custom fixtures can be scheduled on separate furnaces, making delivery times more predictable. Because the two bogie furnaces share the same structure and control logic, operators can switch between them with almost no additional training, and spare parts management is more centralized. The customer commented that Wuxi Wondery’s dual bogie furnace solution substantially increased annealing capacity without adding much management complexity, laying a solid foundation for potential night shifts or larger order volumes. 5) Takeaways for Similar Plants For tool manufacturers in the Philippines and elsewhere transitioning from outsourced heat treatment to in-house facilities, a “dual identical bogie furnace” upgrade strategy offers a way to scale annealing capacity while keeping process consistency. The bogie furnace solution from Wuxi Wondery Industry Equipment provides a practical, repeatable model for this type of expansion.

1) Corrosion Protection Needs & Market Drivers In Russia, transmission towers, guardrails and various steel structures operate under extremely cold and humid conditions, requiring very long corrosion protection life. Hot-dip galvanizing is a key process for improving the durability of such components, and the gas hot dip galvanizing furnace is the heart of the entire galvanizing line. Furnace chamber size, gas utilization and zinc bath temperature uniformity all directly affect production cost and coating quality. 2) Customer Project Background & Pain Points The customer is a manufacturer of steel structures and protective elements, many of which are used in outdoor projects. Their older gas hot dip galvanizing furnace had a relatively small chamber and could not handle larger structures effectively. Gas utilization was also low, leading to higher operating costs. With increasing order volumes, the customer needed a gas hot dip galvanizing furnace with a larger effective size and better energy efficiency. 3) Furnace Configuration & Key Features Wuxi Wondery Industry Equipment supplied a gas hot dip galvanizing furnace with an effective size of 4.0×1.2×2.7 m: Effective dimensions: 4.0×1.2×2.7 m, suitable for overall galvanizing of medium and large steel structures; Heating: gas-fired, with high-efficiency burners and optimized flue design; Control system: temperature monitoring plus combustion safety interlocks for safe, continuous operation. The gas hot dip galvanizing furnace uses an optimized zinc bath design to improve circulation and temperature uniformity, reducing uneven coatings caused by local hot or cold spots. 4) Operating Experience & Customer Feedback After upgrading, the customer can galvanize larger and more complex structures in a single dip, reducing segmented galvanizing and rework. The 4.0×1.2×2.7 m effective chamber covers the main product size range, making line scheduling smoother. The customer reported that the gas hot dip galvanizing furnace from Wuxi Wondery achieves a good balance between zinc bath temperature control and gas consumption. Coating thickness and appearance are more consistent, and on-site inspection pass rates have improved. During long continuous runs, furnace temperature fluctuations are small, reducing line stoppages caused by temperature deviations. 5) Value for Target Users For Russia and other regions with severe corrosion environments, upgrading the gas hot dip galvanizing furnace is a key lever to extend steel structure service life and enhance competitiveness. The 4.0×1.2×2.7 m gas hot dip galvanizing furnace solution from Wuxi Wondery Industry Equipment provides a stable core equipment foundation for overall galvanizing of medium and large steel structures.

1) Regional Demand & Process Challenges Bolivia’s mining and construction machinery sectors require high-strength, high-toughness structural and critical components. Many such parts need complex processes at 1100–1250°C, including normalizing, solution treatment and high-temperature quenching. This places demanding requirements on the maximum temperature, power and chamber size of any heat treatment furnace used. 2) Customer Application Scenario & Constraints The customer is a machining plant producing critical parts for mining and construction equipment. Parts are large, and materials are mostly medium- to high-strength alloy steels. Their existing heat treatment equipment had a small chamber and insufficient maximum temperature, forcing them to outsource many high-temperature processes. This resulted in long lead times and high costs. The customer wanted an in-house high-temperature heat treatment furnace to bring key processes under their own control. 3) Furnace Configuration & Key Specifications Wuxi Wondery Industry Equipment designed and supplied a heat treatment furnace with a 2000×1500×1000 mm chamber, 180 kW power and a maximum temperature of 1250°C: Chamber size: 2000×1500×1000 mm, suitable for most critical construction machinery parts; Heating power: 180 kW with multiple heating zones, ensuring heating rate and temperature uniformity; Maximum temperature: 1250°C, covering normalizing, solution treatment and some high-temperature quenching. This heat treatment furnace uses high-temperature-resistant linings and insulation designed for stable operation and reduced thermal losses. Multi-step process curves can be set for different steels and process routes. 4) Operating Results & Customer Feedback After commissioning, the customer brought high-temperature normalizing and some solution treatments back in-house, significantly shortening delivery times. The 2000×1500×1000 mm chamber can hold most critical parts without splitting or multi-furnace assemblies. The customer reported that high-temperature cycles run in the Wuxi Wondery heat treatment furnace show better distortion control and more uniform microstructures, reducing machining difficulty in subsequent operations. The 180 kW power rating offers a good balance between capacity and energy consumption, leaving room for additional shifts in the future. 5) Project Value Summary For Bolivia and other markets focused on mining and construction machinery, a high-temperature heat treatment furnace with a 1250°C limit and appropriate chamber size can greatly enhance local control over critical part heat treatment. The high-temperature furnace solution from Wuxi Wondery Industry Equipment provides a solid foundation for customers to extend into more advanced processes in the future.
