Pusher Type Reheating Furnace for Steel Production | High-Efficiency Continuous Heating Solution
JIANGSU YINUO THERMAL ENERGY TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD builds advanced Pusher Type Reheating Furnace systems. Steel plants use them to keep heating runs going non-stop. Our own production facilities cover more than 20,000㎡, and fixed assets stand at 80 million yuan. Heating capacity reaches 200 t/h. Energy use works out to about 1.1 GJ/t steel. Billets, blooms and slabs go into these industrial furnaces and come out at a set temperature between 1150-1250°C. At that point the steel is ductile enough for rolling and forging. Over 100 specialized engineers and technicians work with us. The thermal solutions they deliver are dependable. Running costs drop, and production efficiency climbs.

What Makes Our Pusher Reheating Systems Different?
Steady throughput is what our furnaces deliver. You see the results in the numbers, and the line keeps running without surprises. A mechanical pusher carries each steel piece through several heating zones. Travel stays smooth. Heat spreads evenly, so the core ends up as hot as the surface.
You spend less up front than you would on competing furnace technology. Maintenance is simpler too. Build quality is heavy duty, so the hot zones hold fewer moving parts. Downtime becomes far less likely.
These systems run on blast furnace gas, mixed gas, producer gas, or natural gas. Whatever resources your site has, you can adjust energy spending to match.

Core Advantages for Your Operations
Reduced Capital Investment: A Pusher Type Reheating Furnace costs less to build than a walking beam setup. That makes it a good fit for facility upgrades or expansions on a tight budget.
Faster Project Implementation: The build cycle is shorter, so production can start sooner. Our installation process is simple. Your return on investment starts earlier because of it.
Simplified Operation: The controls are simple. Your operators will pick them up fast, and no long specialist training is needed. That keeps your labor costs down over time. New staff also get up to speed sooner.
Easy Maintenance Access: Routine service jobs take little time. No complicated steps are involved. As a result, the equipment stays available more often and production stops less.
Industrial Applications
Our furnaces are used in a wide range of metallurgical applications where reliability is essential. The continuous architecture in rebar and wire rod mills allows for 24/7 operations, processing billets of specified sizes with consistent quality levels.
The long soak zone provides deep temperature penetration in large blooms for heavy forging applications. This eliminates internal cracking and material wastage in the later forging operations.
Linear layout is an advantage for legacy hot strip mills where space limitations restrict the available equipment alternatives. Performance is steady even with changing fuel calorific values typical of industrial gas supply.

FAQ
Q: What grades of steel can this furnace handle?
A: We work with structural steel, low-alloy steel and reliable carbon steel grades. Custom setups can be set up to meet your requirements for specialised materials.
Q: How does the furnace work with different types of fuel?
A: You can run the combustion system on many different fuels. Blast furnace gas, natural gas and mixed gases all work. Burning several fuel types gives you room to move when energy prices swing.
Q: What is the normal % loss in scale?
A: Keep the environment control tight and the heating curves well set, and scale loss usually lands between 0.8% and 1.2%. The exact figure depends on the steel composition and on how the process is run.
Q: Can the system handle varying billet sizes?
A: The furnace works best with uniform billet dimensions. However, custom hearth designs can accommodate minor size variations when required by your production mix.
Q: What maintenance schedule should we expect?
A: Check the refractory linings, the cooling systems, and the pusher mechanisms on a regular basis. That keeps performance where it should be. With proper care, major refractory repairs are typically needed every 5-8 years.
Q: How quickly can production begin after installation?
A: Building one takes less time than other furnace types. That means your project wraps up sooner. Exact schedules vary. It comes down to how much customization you need and what the site is like.
