Forging furnace with ROREBS


Your objectives:

  • Low operating costs through efficient fuel utilisation
  • High plant and equipment efficiency
  • Good heating quality of charge materials

Our services:

  • Combustion optimisation at heating and combustion plants
  • Regenerative heat recovery and preheating of combustion air  to a good 1,000°C
      > DREBS
      > VAREGA®
      > ROREBS
  • Innovative techniques for improved heating and precise closed-loop control
  • Shorter heating-up and soaking times by  improved heat transfer to the charge material
  • Fuel: natural gas, process gases, industrial gas;
    substitution of valuable gases by low calorific gases
