Tenova Core has recently been contracted to provide the turnkey supply of a STC® (Short Time Cycle) furnace at Grand Blanc’s wire processing facility located in Holly, Mich. This installation will mark the second STC® furnace installation for the facility and start-up is expected to take place by the end of 2012.

The 26 tonne batch STC® furnace will be used to spherodize anneal and stress relieve Grand Blanc’s high quality wire products. Tenova Core will also design and supply the complete control and automation package that will feature a Level 1 and Level 2 control system. The energy efficient STC® furnace provides low product variability and superior temperature uniformity.
