WALKING HEARTH FURNACES
If you are reheating billets or blooms, you need a flexible solution to manage different sizes or capacities. Stein Reheating Walking Hearth Furnace (WHF) is an ideal solution for heating small cross-section billets, round and square billets or blooms from 20–180 t/h. It can be used to process carbon, alloy, stainless or special steels, using any fuel type.
RELIABLE OPERATION
Our robust Stein Reheating WHF uses a walking motion in the hearth to move round or square billets and blooms through the furnace. The movable and stationary hearths are covered with a proven refractory material that is designed for long life, giving you increased availability and minimizing maintenance costs.
Stein Reheating WHF also benefits from our tailor-made aligning and kick-off machines for side charging and discharging, and we can include skid design on the charging side, if required, to reduce billet bending. Charge hot and/or cold, according to what best suits your process – it really is that flexible.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
- Reduced fuel consumption thanks to AdvanTek® burners
- Best temperature distribution in the product
- Low NOx emissions
- Reduced scale formation
- Mechanics installed away from heat for less maintenance and longer life
- Prefabrication technology available
Our pusher furnace is a conventional solution for reheating products that works by pushing products through the combustion chamber. It delivers high efficiency and low cost reheating of carbon, alloy, stainless and special steels.
SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE!
SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE!
This simple mechanical system ensures the billets, slabs, blooms and beam blanks moving through the furnace are always well aligned. This, together with the near-total lack of cooled elements inside the heating chamber, makes it highly energy efficient and gives you very low operating costs. It also requires the lowest CAPEX of any type of furnace.
Our low-fuel consumption design gives you a high return on investment and a reduced maintenance cost.
- New lining patterns to reduce heat losses
- Solid hearth design with or without skids
FUEL EFFICIENCY
Designed to heat products made of carbon, alloy, stainless or special steels, the pusher furnace is also fuel-efficient and can utilize fuels including natural gas, fuel oil, COG, BFG and mixed gas thanks to the state-of-the-art AdvanTek® burners.
- Top-fired pusher furnaces for billets 15-100 t/h
- Top and bottom-fired pusher furnaces for billets, slabs, blooms and beam blanks 60-300 t/h
You can also customize the charging and discharging machines according to the application and layout – and even save time by opting for a prefabricated installation for ultra-fast start-up.
