Pusher Type Reheating Furnace
plays a pivotal role in preparing metal billets, blooms, or slabs for further hot working processes like rolling, forging, or extrusion. Known for its high throughput and robust performance, this furnace type is widely used in steel mills, aluminum processing plants, and forging industries. At
JR Furnace & Ovens
, we specialize in delivering high-performance pusher-type reheating furnaces tailored to the exacting demands of industrial clients.
What is a Pusher Type Reheating Furnace?
A pusher type reheating furnace is a continuous furnace where metal stock is fed into the furnace in batches and pushed forward mechanically from one end to the discharge side. As the charge travels through different temperature zones, it gets uniformly heated to the desired temperature for hot working. The furnace is typically rectangular in layout and divided into preheating, heating, and soaking zones to ensure effective heat penetration and minimal surface scaling.
Key Advantages
Continuous Operation
The pusher mechanism allows for uninterrupted feeding and reheating of billets, ideal for medium to high production demands.
Uniform Heating
With strategically placed burners and advanced control systems, the furnace provides precise temperature control across all zones for consistent metallurgical results.
Fuel Efficiency
Our furnaces are designed with energy-saving features such as regenerative or recuperative burners, reducing fuel consumption significantly.
High Productivity
Capable of handling up to several tons per hour, the pusher furnace streamlines reheating in large-scale operations.
Automation Compatibility
Integrated with PLC-based control systems and HMI, pusher furnaces can be fully automated, enhancing operational safety and repeatability.
Steel Rolling Mills: For reheating billets, blooms, and slabs before rolling.
Forging Shops: Prepares workpieces for open-die and closed-die forging.
Seamless Pipe Manufacturing: Heats billets before piercing and extrusion.
Aluminum Extrusion: Reheating aluminum billets before shaping.
At
JR Furnace
, we design and build pusher type reheating furnaces with a deep understanding of industrial challenges and thermal processing requirements. Here are some highlights of our system features:
Construction & Configuration:
Robust Steel Structure with refractory lining capable of withstanding high thermal loads.
Furnace Zones: Divided into Preheating, Heating, and Soaking zones.
Refractory Materials: High-quality ceramic fiber modules and fire bricks minimize heat loss.
Hydraulic or Electro-mechanical Pusher
with precision alignment to avoid billet jamming.
Pushers can handle a variety of shapes—round, square, and rectangular billets.
Gas-fired with high-efficiency burners (LPG, PNG, or furnace oil).
Option for electrical heating where gas is unavailable.
Burner Placement designed for top, side, or bottom firing based on product type and desired heat profile.
PLC & HMI Based Controls for temperature zoning, pusher speed, burner modulation, and real-time monitoring.
SCADA integration available for enterprise-level control and analytics.
Over-temperature protection
Flame failure detection
Pressure interlocks
Easy access for inspection and servicing
Our furnaces can be equipped with
waste heat recovery systems
such as recuperators or regenerators to utilize exhaust gases for preheating combustion air, reducing overall fuel consumption and operating cost. Options like
variable frequency drives (VFDs)
on fans and burners further boost energy savings.
