Danieli walking-beam furnace in operation at Stahlwerk Annahütte
The billet reheating furnace at Stahlwerk Annahütte Max Aicher plant in Ainring-Hammerau, Germany, has been granted final acceptance.
Supplied by Danieli Centro Combustion, the new 80 tph reheating furnace exceeded the required performance parameters. It delivers perfectly heated billets with precise temperature uniformity, further improving the quality of the rolled products.
The plant ensures economical and environmentally friendly operation; energy consumption and CO₂ emissions have been reduced, and NOx emissions minimized to the lowest possible levels.
Patented, hydrogen-ready Danieli HydroMab burners have proven their performance efficiency.
The scope of supply also included the complete furnace power distribution and automation systems, intuitive human-machine interfaces, and L1 and L2 process controls with mathematical models for further optimization of the reheating process.
The installation was completed with upstream and downstream material handling systems, hydraulic systems and advanced combustion technologies, including combustion-air preheating and the exhaust system.
“With the commissioning of our new furnace we reached another milestone in increasing the efficiency and sustainability of our production of high-quality special steel bars” Ingo Glane Technical Director of Stahlwerk Annahütte claimed.
