All orders are processed by defining purchase requirements (allocations) for special ordered items and standard inventory materials. Each purchased item is identified by a unique inventory control number that insures production schedules and purchasing requests meet our delivery requirements.

Manufactured parts are routed through our facility by means of a work order, which defines special require­ments and includes detailed work procedures of manufacturing operations.

This permits our production planning and department managers to efficiently monitor manufacturing schedules by individual machine operation, or by total department capacity.

Young Industries CNC (Computer Numeric Controls) Programming Department is located within our production planning offices, which permits timely availability of new programs. We utilize “Smart Cam” software (Point Control Corporation) for machine tool programming of our CNC machines. Our programming of sheet metal parts utilizes a customized version of “Parts 2 Plus” software (Shop Data Systems). This software includes standard HVAC parts information to permit efficient layout of customized parts.

CNC programming operations are DNC (Direct Networking Communication) connected to the machine operations which they service. Programs are transmitted from design stations or are directly entered at  the machine tool work station.

Both ferrous and non-ferrous materials are stored in this area. This building is equipped with the necessary cranes for manufacturing.

We utilize a model 6 MG Industries Apollo HSG CNC Thermal Cutting System for our sheet metal preparation. This machine is equipped with an oxy acetylene torch, plasma cutting torch, and pneumatic punch marker Our cutting table will accommodate materials up to 3″ thick with a 96″ by 144″ cutting area.

Although most parts are programmed and cut by our CNC process, we also utilize manual band saws, gang punching, shears, rolls, and press brake operations to shape and  form parts in materials from 22 ga. up to 5/8″ thick. Our layout department utilizes some of  our most skilled craftsmen, working from equip­ ment detail drawings to perform the actual layout, cutting, forming, and fit-up of pieces to be welded. We utilize a “work cell” concept to provide for high quality products.

Our welding department is equipped with automatic and semi-automatic welding equip­ ment, and is equipped to perform all welding procedures. Such processes include MIG, TIG, STICK, and PTA (Plasma Transferred Arc). The PTA process is an automatic welding system which is primarily utilized to inlay weldments of Stellite hard surfacing materials.  All welders, welding procedures, and processes utilized in production of weldments are certi­ fied according to ASME Section IX standards.

Young utilizes inert environmental facilities for welding of exotic alloys such as titanium and Hastelloy.

The grinding (clean-up) department is well equipped with grinding and polishing tools which permit us to provide finished welds from minimal clean-up to sanitary weld polishes for pharmaceutical applications. Grinding equip­ ment and supplies are carefully controlled to prevent cross contamination of materials.

Young maintains facilities for performing glass bead blasting, shot peening or conventional sand blasting.

Young Industries has in house capability for both Thermal Stress Relief  and Vibratory Stress Relief of parts. This permits us to choose the most practical means of stress relieving for the part being manufactured. Special heat treating requirements are achieved by sub-contracting of services to heat treating specialists.

The modern machining department, which is equipped with three CNC machining centers, are utilized to machine approximately 90 percent of all parts. Our Giddings & Lewis machine tools are capable of turning parts up to 18″ diameter, 96″ between centers, and for vertical boring of parts up to 48″  diameter  by 50″ long.

Our G&L 3-axis model 15HSP Horizontal Machining Center, complete with   automatic tool sequencing, is capable of machining in  a work area of 48″  by  60″. It’s automatic  work piece system incorporates four (Li)  40″  pallet type work stations for shuttling parts, and a transporter to load and unload  parts  to  the actual machining area. This machining center is also capable of machining contoured parts. The parts shuttling system allows improved productivity by allowing set-up to  be accomplished while others are being machined.

The machining center is complemented by digitally instrumented and operated dual machines, capable of keying, slotting, milling and boring. An engine lathe with turning capacity of 54″ diameter by 22 feet long high­ lights this department.

Our assembly area is a spacious two (2) bay area serviced by three (3) overhead bridge cranes, each with 8,000 pound lifting capacity. This layout provides for adequate room to perform smaller “bench work” assembly while permit­ ting ample floor space for larger assemblies such as vessels, mixers, filters, and conveyors.

We are equipped to perform vibration testing, and static and dynamic balancing of compo­ nent parts (IRD). We can run tests on equip­ ment up to 300 HP, do sound level testing, perform soap bubble tests for fabricated vessels, or hydro pressure tests for ASME code vessels and steam jackets.

Young maintains air and airless painting facilities for the application of conventional and special coatings.

After the final inspection of equipment is completed, the product is then crated for immediate shipment or sent to the warehouse for storage.
