ICMI installs a patented continuous furnace for round and square billets

Icmi Forni Industriali is proud to have patented and installed a new continuous furnace powered by natural gas for a leading customer in the forging and hot-stamping of round and square billets.

A state-of-the-art system that delivers excellent results:

- Quality: absence of oxygen in the chamber, eliminating scale formation during processing on the treated billets;
- Uniformity: homogeneous temperature between surface and core of the billets, with outlet temperatures up to 1,280°C;
- Competitiveness: reduced cost per ton produced compared to induction furnaces, and increased service life of the downstream tooling;
- Reliability: the furnace has been designed to allow quick maintenance and ensure continuous operation;
- Ease of use: the HMI interface enables simple and intuitive management of the furnace zones to maximize the process;
- Modularity: the continuous furnace’s length is sized according to the desired production rate;

This furnace, in addition to the requirements mentioned above, is designed for all producers of hot-forged components who have:

- The need to preserve the tooling of the machines downstream of the furnace;
- Reached the limits of available electrical power for production.
