How to improve productivity, flexibility & product quality, while reducing consumption & environment impact on CGL furnaces
CMI Thermline offers for horizontal and L-shaped furnaces dedicated to CGL & CAL: the Best Available Technologies for heating (non oxidizing direct flame burners, high efficient recuperative burners, P or I shaped tubes), cooling (dry cooling with self stabilizing patented Blowstab® or Ultra-Dry cooling™ with pentane) and furnace mathematical models LH-TOP®
CMI Thermline offers the exclusive combination of:
- All fiber N.O.F. when required for selective oxidation or for investment cost reduction
- Most reliable and efficient R.T.F. with combustion B.A.T. : self Recuperative burners with P or I- shaped tubes ( ≥ 77% efficiency versus 60-65% for conventional)
- Patented cooling devices:
- Blowstab® jet coolers which is the benchmark for jet cooling for many steelmakers in terms of cooling performance (up to 70°C/s) and strip stability
- Blowstab® coolers for customized APC towers, without any vibration risk
- Exclusive Ultra-Dry cooling™ with pentane (up to 600°C/s without strip oxidation).
- Clever furnace control thanks to level 1, patented mathematical model LH-TOP®, tele-maintenance, remote control and assistance on process
- Customized furnace layout : 1 or 2 passes, L-shaped, by-passable vertical soak
- Multi-purpose furnace: wide range of possible widths, thicknesses, GI/GA, GI/GL, FH/HR/CQ/../EDDQ/DP/HSLA
- All grades produced from Full Hard qualities up to Advanced High Strength steels for CGL
- High productivity (100 tph for CGL)
- Up to 1650 mm wide, and 4mm thickness
- Exposed and non exposed qualities
- Energy reduction (up to 30% v.s. competition evidenced by revampings)
- Productivity increase (evidenced by up to 38% increase on competitor fces revamping)
- Blowstab advantages are homogeneity and strip stability
- LH-TOP® advantages are automatic operation of the furnace continuously at max possible speed, prevention of oxidation risk, management of all the transient phases, storage of QC files per coil
- B.A.T. for environment (recuperative burners, better process control –patented mathematical models, new combustion modes – on/off…)
- Processes dedicated to new steels (reduction of alloying elements, easy production to H.S.S. with patented Blowstab or Ultra-Dry Cooling, etc..)
