Bottom Car furnaces

The material is placed on the bogie, that goes inside the heating chamber and forms its floor.

Working Temperatures

from 400 C° to 1150 C° (752 F° to 2102 F°)

Capacity

From 1 to 500 m3. Maximum load: 140 ton. Alternatives upon request

Energy efficiency class

Class 3/5 AMS 2750: from +/- 8 C° to +/- 14 C°

In this type of industrial furnace the material is positioned on a bogie that enters in the furnace from the frontal side. Once inside, the bogie forms the floor of the heating chamber. The heating is achieved with gas or electricity, with burners, radiant tubes or resistances.

Structure's description

The structure of Our Bogie-Hearth furnaces is made of solid steel tubes and profiles. The heating chamber is insulated with ceramic fibre and refractory material for high temperatures. The heating is usually achieved with gas burners that ensure a very good energy saving, alternatively with radiant tubes or electrical resistances. The loading and unloading operations are very easy due to the mobility of the Bogie.
