Hertwich Engineering has commissioned a batch homogenizing furnace and a cooling station at Dubal (United Arab Emirates), the homogenizing plant being the third of its kind to be commissioned by Hertwich within the aluminium smelter complex.
Such batch homogenizing furnaces are designed for extra-fast heating of logs. A reversing air concept and regulation by flaps accelerates the heating by an estimated 20%, and achieves improved temperature uniformity. Optimized heating is fully automated and is regulated over measured air- and metal temperatures. The same enhancement is included in the cooling station for more efficient cooling.
Hertwich Engineering GmbH is a company of the SMS group which, under the roof of the SMS Holding GmbH, consists of a group of global players in machinery and plant construction in steel and nonferrous metals processing. Its workforce of more than 13,500 employees generates sales.
