Reheat FurnacesGREATER QUALITY, INCREASED EFFICIENCY & IMPROVED OPERATING FLE XIBILITY

FlexibilityTECO reheat furnaces are designed for flexibility. The cascade control system and supervisory heating model minimize fuel usage at off-peak production rates. TECO furnaces can be designed to accept a mix of production sizes and shapes to maximize production flexibility and prevent future obsolescence. The product tracking system accommodates a mix of products within the furnace.

Long LifeTECO furnaces are designed for maximum reliability and easy maintenance. The use of premium refractory materials ensures long refractory life. The double-rail system maximizes rail strength, while reducing water cooling losses. The special “profiled” ramp design provides for soft pickup of the billets, minimizing refractory shock and reducing hydraulic loads.

Environmentally FriendlyTECO furnaces utilize the latest NOx control technologies to minimize emissions.TECO has extensive experience in implementation of low NOx burners and SCR/NSCR NOx reduction systems. Efficient designs with low Btu/ton save fuel and reduce your carbon footprint.

Technologically AdvancedTECO furnaces utilize the latest advancements in control technology. Supervisory control maximizes the “up” time of the mill, while minimizing fuel usage. The operator interface is friendly and requires minimal operator intervention. The PLC-based control systems are designed for future expansion capability. TECO will custom-design control systems based on your plant standard PLCs, ensuring easy maintainability.

Technical SupportTECO’s experienced engineering staff can help you determine your current and future furnace requirements. TECO can help you evaluate which type of furnace best meets your product mix. TECO can recommend and engineer furnace upgrades, which extend the life of your current furnace while utilizing the latest combustion and control technologies.
