Continuous Furnace Symposium Held in Monterrey, Mexico

Attendees from industrial furnace and manufacturing companies across the United States and Mexico gathered on November 7th and 8th in Monterrey, Mexico for Abbott Furnace’s third annual Continuous Furnace Symposium. This year’s symposium was focused on continuous furnace brazing. For two days, experts in the areas of continuous furnaces, filler metals, belts, CQI-9, furnace atmosphere generation, and atmosphere flow control presented lectures and answered troubleshooting questions.

Abbott Furnace continues to be a technology provider who strives to not only be the leading manufacturer of continuous furnaces but serves as a technology conduit for the advancement, education, and competitiveness of their customers. This event is a unique gathering opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers to the brazing and powder metal sintering industries. They learn about process fundamentals, equipment maintenance, quality systems, and troubleshooting.

We hope to see you all at our next symposium that is tentatively scheduled for May 2018 in Querétaro, Mexico.
