Andy CHEN

Marstate Industrial Corporation

Born in 1955, Andy Chen Graduated from the University of Taiwan Ocean Technology in 1977 with Bachelor Degrees in Marine Engineering. In 1980 he became a certified marine professional engineer. 


In 1988, Andy found Marstate in Taiwan and started his career of heat treatment and furnace equipment. He was the sales representative of Vacuum Furnace System Corporation (VFS) in Taiwan, then the following year, he became the representative of Atmosphere Furnace Corporation (AFC) and Marathon Monitor Inc. (MMI) 


In 2003, Andy established Shanghai PowerMax Furnace Corporation, and acted as general manager. The company is an exclusive licensee of AFC-Holcroft in China. PowerMax is building full serials of AFC furnace products. Since then, PowerMax had the chance to build the several hundreds of seal quench batch furnaces of AFC UBQ and PowerMax XRE with great satisfaction of customers worldwide. In addition to popular equipment, Andy also built the very large seal quench furnace range from 1.5 tons to 5 tons and other niche equipment such as roller hearth furnace, large continuous annealing furnace. 


In 2005, Andy became partner of Applied Process new project in Suzhou China. In 2011, in order to more focus on business in USA, owner of Applied Process sold his share to Chinese partners and the company changed name to Austemper Components Manufacturing Corporation (Suzhou). In 2014, Andy became the president of Austemper Components Manufacturing Corporation (Suzhou). 


In 2018, Andy stepped down his jobs at PowerMax and Austemper, and returned home in Taiwan. Andy considers furnace business as lifetime career and continue to develop atmosphere equipment for the next generation. His first successful project of a new generation of Ring type furnace encourage him to develop more with unique features in this filed. 


Andy has authored numerous papers and articles in China and gave heat treat related topics in the conference in China, Turkey, Thailand and USA. 


The Next Generation of Atmosphere Equipment, Goals of Reduce Energy, Less Atmosphere Consumption, Less NOx emission, Less Manpower Requirement and High Performance 


Heat treatment equipment has always been a very important production equipment in the metal processing industry. Heat treatment equipment is a process with high energy consumption, high pollution and high manpower. How to save energy, reduce emissions and achieve automation is an important goal that everyone strives to pursue. 


In this article we will describe in detail of a new generation of ring furnace, a new generation of cast link furnace, a new generation of nitriding furnace and a new generation of gas burner, which we have achieved our intended goals. We hope that this result will lead to more development and research in this area.
