Digitally controlled
Utilizing Virtuo™ thermal optimization tool and Virtuo™ OptiScale oxide scale control system, all operating parameters are digitally controlled for optimum performance. This is what enables the latest generation – Stein Digit@l Furnace® AT 2.0 – to offer the best value for money on the market when considering initial investment, operating costs and product quality.
STEIN REHEATING WBF
The Stein Reheating Walking Beam Furnace (WBF) – a cost-effective walking beam furnace with proportional control – is designed to reheat long and flat products.
The furnace is suitable for reheating billets, blooms, beam blanks and slabs at throughput rates from 60 up to 500 t/h and for products weighing up to 67 tons. This heavy-duty equipment can even be prefabricated for quick and easy installation. Benefits include:
- Compatible with all fuel types: NG, fuel oil, COG, BFG, mixed gas, etc.
- Reduced fuel consumption thanks to AdvanTek® burners
- Best temperature distribution in the product
- Mechanics installed away from heat for less maintenance and longer life
STEIN REGET@L FURNACE
A fuel-flexible solution. Stein Reget@l Furnace is specifically designed to operate with low calorific value fuels, such as blast furnace gases.
Thanks to the advanced design of the AdvanTek® Regen burners, high temperatures can still be achieved, ensuring efficient reheating of a wide range of steel products, including special steels.
The Stein Reget@l Furnace is based on the same walking beam furnace technology as the Stein Digit@l Furnace®, it promises the same high quality and uses Virtuo, our thermal performance optimizer.
