IPS/Stanwood Products

IPS/Stanwood Corporation can produce heat treating baskets of any size or style that exists in the industry today. These designs have evolved from IPS/Stanwood Corporation’s more than seventy years of experience in supplying hundreds of satisfied heat treating customers throughout the industry. Our expertise in all types of welding allows us to offer baskets constructed using, mig (GMAW), resistance (ERW), tig (GTAW) or combinations of any of these methods.

IPS/Stanwood Corporation can fabricate a basket to fit your most unusual requirement. Please contact one of our experienced sales professionals to review your specific application for individual design recommendations. Special sizes, configurations or alloys can be easily produced upon request.

IPS/Stanwood’s cast blades are designed both to provide the best performance, service, and quality casting. We examine each and every fan casting including a static balancing process. In addition, each fan is examined between the critical hub and the blade area. The shafts are precision machined utilizing a nickel chrome alloy and welded utilizing a special technique to ensure a sound weld. The finished assembly is then dynamically balanced using our state-of-the-art system utilizing advanced electronics and programming to simulate a furnace situation.

In many cases old fans can be reconditioned and balanced inexpensively. At times it may be necessary to replace the shaft or blade, but this replacement generally results in an expenditure less than that of a new fan. IPS/Stanwood Corporation maintains an inventory of the more common cast fan blades and round bar stock to reduce lead times.

IPS/Stanwood Corporation Retorts can be manufactured in many styles, large or small, using superior fabricating, machining and welding techniques to meet the most critical of high temperature processing requirements. The critical nature of these parts requires a retort that is strong and completely gas tight, a requirement that is met with ease.
