How to improve productivity & product quality, while reducing consumption & environment impact

CMI Thermline offers vertical furnaces dedicated to CGL & CAL: the Best Available Technologies for heating (regenerative burners, PP shaped tubes), cooling (dry cooling with self stabilizing patented Blowstab ® or Ultra-Dry cooling TM with pentane) and furnace mathematical models L-TOP®

CMI Thermline offers the exclusive combination of:

• Vertical all fiber N.O.F. when required for selective oxidation or for investment cost reduction

• New generation of R.T.F. with combustion B.A.T.:
  • Regenerative burners with W-shaped tubes for furnace revamping (85% efficiency versus 60-65% for conventional)
  • Self regenerative burners (85% efficiency) or self recuperative burners (70% efficiency) with PP shaped tubes for new furnaces

• Patented cooling devices :
  • Blowstab® which is the benchmark for jet cooling inside and outside (A.P.C. for C.G.L) furnaces for many steelmakers in terms of cooling performance (up to 130°C/s) and strip stability, combined with heat recovery to preheat the strip
  • Wet quenching
  • Exclusive Ultra-Dry cooling™ with pentane (up to 600°C/s without strip oxidation)

• Clever furnace control thanks to level 1 & patented mathematical model L-TOP® which prevent strip buckling & mistracking with tele-maintenance, remote control and assistance on process parameters.
