Billet Heater

They supply two different systems for flexible and energy-efficient heating of logs and billets in extrusion shops:

Convection furnaces of unparalleled energy efficiency: These furnaces use special jet heating systems to heat the products. No open flames get in contact with the product surfaces. Therefore, these furnaces are extremely gentle to the logs and billets during heating.

JunkerDynamicHeater® induction furnaces for the highest flexibility: With these furnaces, virtually any temperature profile, the so-called taper, can be set along the log or billet length. Thanks to their high power rating, these furnaces can raise the throughput of isothermal extrusion by more than 20 percent.

Many of our customers report that the combination of both systems – an induction furnace arranged downstream of a convection furnace – has proved as a highly successful solution.

“BILLET pilot”, their advanced mathematical process model, reduces the cycle times and minimizes energy use.

They supply complete furnace lines, including optional equipment such as handling and quenching systems, hot saws and billet washers.
