IFCO continues to stay current with the safety standards applicable to our industry.  Just recently, employees completed a 10 hour OSHA refresher course, and IFCO is also incorporating MSHA training into its annual training. IFCO wants to be sure that employees are always up-to-date on the proper safety procedures and safety equipment relevant to their duties. 

Industrial Furnace is very excited to begin a new project in China.  Pictured are workers unloading and assembling a Vertical Shaft Kiln Process Control System engineered by IFCO.  Logistics for these parts as well as all related items for construction of this VSK are provided by the team at Industrial Furnace Company. Currently we have projects underway not only in the US, but also in Turkey, Greece, Ireland, Austria, Saudi Arabia, India and Canada.

IFCO  has recently been providing more companies with complete system optimization for both Multiple Hearth Furnaces and Fluidized Bed Incinerators. The scope of services includes data gathering, visual inspections of current incinerators, operations staff interviews and monitoring, and a complete summary report of the findings. The summary report includes an assessment of the existing system and an evaluation of any process or configuration variations with regard to how they might negatively impact the Plant’s operations and maintenance. The reports also address the level of effort and steps required to optimize the Incinerator to its peak performance levels and, if necessary, bring the equipment up to current standards and codes. 

IFCO is proud to reach out to the Rochester Community and has provided support to many local organizations.

For the past 3 1/2 years, IFCO supported Steel Lillies, a non-profit group created in memory of Tiffany Lill to raise funds and awareness for Sarcoma/Cancer Research. 

Max Lill, Jr. co-chaired a commitee that designed and built the Greater Rochester Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Monroe County was so thankful for his work that they named the entrance street to the Memorial "Max Lill Drive" in his honor.

For many years, the Lill Family has also supported Holy Childhood, a non-profit organization designed to assist those with with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

IFCO is pleased to announce that it has expanded its Shaft Kiln Business into Northern China's Mining Industry. Below is a picture showing Mike Hilton from Industrial Furnace Company signing a contract with a local mining company.
