Process Optimization and R&D Services

Process optimization in heat treatment furnaces focuses on identifying and implementing energy-saving strategies while maintaining high process efficiency. Through detailed analysis and testing, several key areas for improvement have been identified, such as reducing holding times, utilizing preheated materials, and optimizing fan speeds.

The overall goal is to enhance furnace performance while reducing operational costs and environmental impact:

  • Reducing unnecessary soaking time can save both energy and time, improving overall efficiency, enabled by EBNER thermal models.
  • Using waste heat from the furnace for preheating materials leads to additional energy savings.
  • Preheated materials from previous processes can shorten furnace heating time and lower energy consumption.
  • Accurate and comprehensive data collection during operations helps identify further areas for optimization and ensures future improvements.
  • Optimizing fan curves for efficiency
  • Demand-based cooling control
  • Advanced simulation and modelling (CFD, FEM)
  • Pilot testing and prototyping facilities
  • Comprehensive lab equipment: tensile testing,
  • Temperature measurement system for continuous solution hardness testing, microscopy, chemical analysis.
