Walking Beam Furnace

About Walking Beam Furnace

Walking Beam Furnaces manufactured by United Enterprises are cutting-edge heating furnaces that are highly effective in heating large or heavy items in a semi-continuous manner.

Brief Description:

We manufacture and export best-in-class Walking Beam Furnaces, used for reheating, forging and stress relieving processes in steel mills and forging shops. The walking beam mechanism lifts, advances and lowers the load in steady steps ensuring uniform exposure to each heating zone and avoiding the surface marking issues seen in pusher furnaces.

This design is particularly suited to heavy billets, blooms, slabs and large forging stock where careful handling and temperature uniformity are critical.

Each furnace is built around the customers charge weight, dimensions, throughput and target temperature profile.

Characteristics:

• Semi-continuous heating with controlled walking-beam movement
• Special alloy walking beams designed for the load size
• Thyristor-controlled heating and soaking cycles
• Excellent temperature uniformity in heavy sections
• Available in both electrical and recuperative gas-fired versions
• High-density refractory hearth and low-density backup insulation
• Suitable for steel rolling mills and large forging plants
• Fully automated SCADA system with detailed data logging

FAQs:

Q: Where is a walking beam furnace better than a pusher furnace?

A: For heavy or long stock, especially where surface marking and skid contact are concerns, a walking beam furnace is the preferred option.

Q: What is the typical heat-up time?

A: Heat-up time depends on furnace size and refractory mass. We size the burners/heaters to achieve productive heat-up while maintaining refractory life.

Q: Do you customize the furnace for our specific billet sizes?

A: Yes. Every walking beam furnace from United Enterprises is custom-engineered for the customers load weight, dimensions and rolling/forging plan.
