Continuous furnaces

With furnaces operating 24 hours a day, having a stable process is crucial to the quality of the end product. With Kanthal Tubothal® metallic heating elements and a range of solutions for roller hearth furnaces, the power output is on par with gas and virtually all ofthe heat produced is being used inside of the furnace.

Depending on temperature requirements and atmospheric conditions, Kanthal has a range of electric heating solutions for an emissions-free annealing process. Metallic elements go up to 1,200°C, while Globar® Silicon carbide (SiC) and Kanthal® Super heating elements can handle temperatures up to 1,850°C.

Aside from creating a better working environment, replacing gas heating with Kanthal’s electric solutions has superior temperature control which ensures consistent steel properties throughout the galvanizing line process. And by using renewable energy, the process effectively becomes emissions-free.
