“The Monty Heat Treat News” to Visit “Top 15” Captive Heat Treater
For a number of years “The Monty” has offered a heat treat industry exclusive-a list of the 15 largest single location captive heat treaters in North America-this list can be found at https://themonty.com/project/15-largest-captive-heat-treats-north-america/
This week Gord Montgomery of “The Monty” will be visiting Dana Fairfield Manufacturing in Lafayette, Indiana one of the largest single location captive heat treaters in North America which is ranked 3 on our list. Look forward to photos and a story about this very impressive facility.
“Number 3 Dana Fairfield Manufacturing, Lafayette, Indiana. Our 2023 list prompted a number of large manufacturers with substantial heat treatment departments to reach out to “The Monty” to see how they ranked on our list-one that reached out was Dana Fairfield Manufacturing in Lafayette, Indiana, USA https://www.fairfieldmfg.com/fairfield-experience-for-gears-and-drive-systems/ a supplier of custom gears and drive systems.
The heat treat department of this facility covers over 65,000 square feet (6,000 square meters) and in it we find 9 pusher lines, 2 nitriding systems, 2 large annealers, several pit carburizing systems, multiple batch IQ lines and a very substantial induction hardening footprint. Incidentally while this is a very impressive heat treat facility it represents only a fraction of the over 700 heat treating systems which Dana operates around the globe.”
