Industry Background
Before rolling or forging, billets must be heated to high temperatures. However, traditional pusher furnaces face several issues:
Surface damage due to friction
Uneven heating
High energy consumption
As a result, upgrading to advanced heating systems is essential.
Working Principle
The walking beam furnace transports billets through a step-by-step motion:
lifting → moving forward → lowering → returning
This non-contact movement eliminates friction and improves heating quality.
Key Advantages
1. Non-Contact Transfer
Reduces surface defects and improves yield
2. Uniform Heating
Zoned temperature control ensures consistent heating
3. Energy Efficiency
Fuel consumption can be controlled to ≤40 m³ per ton
4. High Automation
Supports automatic charging, monitoring, and control
Applications
The walking beam furnace is widely used in:
Billet reheating
Forging industry
Spring steel production
Continuous bar heating
It is ideal for medium and large-scale production lines.
Conclusion
With its advantages in efficiency, energy saving, and automation, the walking beam furnace is gradually replacing traditional heating equipment.
