Typical example of a batch type furnace: > Box type furnace > Heating up of scrap/ingots/billets > Manual charge/discharge of the batches > Operating T = 1200 °C > Operating cycle: heat-up / hold / cool down > Output: 10 - 15 tons/day > Fuel used: depending on material and number of reheating cycles per day
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.
