Pusher Type Furnace for Pre-heating and Homogenizing

Description

Application and Special Features:

Pusher-type furnaces are used for preheating and homogenizing of milled rolling ingots of aluminum before hot rolling if the alloys and dimensions of the rolling ingots do not change much. The ingots are run through the furnace one after the other. 

With the OTTO JUNKER high conection technology, pusher-type furnaces are optimized for the preheating and homogenizing of rolling ingots before hot rolling from an energy and flow dynamics point of view. They are either gas-fired or electrically heated.

Their main features are very low energy consumption, fully automatic operation and the electronic integration with the hot rolling mill.

If, apart from the standard ingot length, short ingots are also processed frequently, the pusher-type furnace can also be arranged in parallel configuration. That way, the normal length ingots can be preheated in single file and the short ones in double file, so that a higher throughput can be achieved for the short ingots.

In order to reduce energy losses via the doors, we have developed the patented SLE Pusher Furnace.
