WALKING BEAM FURNACE
The Walking Beam Reheating Furnace, recently completed by AMB, marks a significant milestone in modern steel production. Now fully operational, the furnace delivers on its promise of enhanced energy efficiency, reduced emissions, and superior product quality. With its cutting-edge design and advanced digital controls, the furnace stands ready to meet the demands of high-capacity steel production, offering a robust and sustainable solution for reheating billets and blooms.
The main features:
1. Energy Efficiency and Uniform Heating
2. Low Emissions and Fuel Flexibility
3. Digital Control and Automation
4. Production Capacity
1. Energy Efficiency and Uniform Heating
Thanks to its versatility, it can handle production ratio ranging 150 tons per hour. This ability to handle heavy loads makes our furnace suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
The complete cambustion control system of our AMB WBR Furnace is another feature that makes it unique in the market.
2. Low Emissions and Fuel Flexibility
The use of high-efficiency burners, allows to reduced CO2 and NOx emissions. This is particularly important as industries shift towards more sustainable practices. The advanced design not only minimizes fuel consumption but also helps cut down on environmental impact.
3. Digital Control and Automation
Equipped with modern digital systems, the furnace enables real-time monitoring and control of all key operational parameters. Tools like thermal optimization software ensure that the furnace runs at peak performance while also reducing energy waste. This helps minimize operational costs while maintaining high throughput and product quality.
4. Production Capacity
The furnace recently commissioned by AMB is capable of reheating 150 tons/hour with hot charge and 130 tons/hour with cold charge, demonstrating its robustness in high-production environments. It is capable of handling billets 12 meters in one row or 6 meters in two rows depending on configuration
Technical Specifications
• Maximum Temperature: Up to 1230°C, made possible by water-cooled steel beams lined with refractory material. This allows for effective handling of high temperatures while protecting critical components.
• Material Capacity: The furnace can process billets and blooms, with throughputs up to 500 tons per hour, making it versatile enough to accommodate a wide range of steel sizes and shapes .
• Walking Beam Mechanism: The furnace utilizes a two-set walking beam system, where billets rest on stationary beams and are moved forward by a set of mobile beams. This ensures smooth material transport, preventing any piling or damage.
