About Soaking Pit Furnace
Soaking Pit Furnace manufactured by United Enterprises is a deep, top-charging batch furnace specifically built for heating large ingots, slabs or heavy forgings to uniform soaking temperature before rolling or forging.
Brief Description:
Soaking pits are essential in primary steel rolling and heavy forging operations, where ingots and slabs need to be brought to a uniform temperature through the cross-section. Our soaking pit furnaces are built with heavy-duty refractory, recuperative burners and multi-zone combustion control for long campaign life and excellent fuel economy.
We supply soaking pits in single and multi-pit configurations to match the customers capacity needs. PLC and SCADA based combustion management, automatic temperature recording and modern instrumentation make the furnace easy to operate and maintain.
Every pit is custom-engineered for the customers ingot/slab dimensions, weight and downstream rolling/forging plan.
Characteristics:
- Deep top-charging soaking pit design
- Suitable for ingots, slabs and heavy forging stock
- Maximum temperature up to 1200C
- Recuperative burners with air pre-heating
- Multi-zone combustion control
- Heavy-duty refractory for long campaign life
- PLC and SCADA-based combustion and temperature control
- Customizable for single or multi-pit installations
About United Enterprises:
United Enterprises is among the top Soaking Pit Furnace manufacturers in India with over 25+ years of experience in heavy heat treatment and reheating systems.

FAQs:
Q: Why use a soaking pit instead of a reheating furnace?
A: Soaking pits are best suited for ingots and very heavy stock that need long, uniform soaking. Continuous reheating furnaces suit smaller, regular stock.
Q: How is fuel consumption optimized?
A: Through recuperative burners, air pre-heating, tight refractory insulation and SCADA-based combustion control.
Q: Can you handle revamps of existing soaking pits?
A: Yes. We provide refractory renewal, burner upgrade and automation revamp services for existing soaking pits.
