Pusher Type Reheating Furnace – High-Efficiency Heat Solutions by JR Furnace & Ovens

In modern metallurgical and forging industries, heating billets, slabs, or ingots to the desired forging or rolling temperature requires precision and efficiency. Among the most reliable and widely used systems for this purpose is the Pusher Type Reheating Furnace. This furnace plays a vital role in ensuring optimal productivity and product quality in large-scale industrial processes.

At JR Furnace & Ovens, we specialise in manufacturing high-performance Pusher Type Reheating Furnaces designed to meet the rigorous demands of steel plants, forging units, and hot rolling mills. With decades of engineering experience and a commitment to innovation, we deliver robust, fuel-efficient, and low-maintenance solutions tailored to your process requirements.

What is a Pusher Type Reheating Furnace?

A Pusher-Type Reheating Furnace is a continuous furnace used to reheat solid metal stock, such as billets, blooms, or slabs, to a high temperature, making them suitable for further processing, including forging, rolling, or extrusion.

In this design, the metal stock is loaded onto the furnace hearth and pushed forward through various temperature zones using a mechanical or hydraulic pusher. The furnace consists of three primary zones – preheating, heating, and soaking – ensuring uniform and gradual temperature rise throughout the material.

Key Features of JR Furnace Pusher Type Reheating Furnaces

Efficient Heat Distribution
Advanced burner systems and well-zoned heating ensure uniform temperature distribution, minimizing hot or cold spots.

Robust Mechanical Pusher Mechanism
Heavy-duty pusher systems ensure smooth forward movement, even under high-load and high-temperature conditions.

Customizable Furnace Size
Available in a variety of sizes and configurations, depending on billet size, material type, and desired throughput.

Fuel Flexibility
Operates efficiently on various fuels like natural gas, LPG, diesel, or producer gas to suit different industrial setups.

Durable Construction
High-grade refractory lining and insulation minimize heat loss and extend furnace lifespan.

Automated Temperature Control
PLC-based automation systems for precise temperature regulation and energy optimization.

Industrial Applications

Pusher-type reheating furnaces are essential in:

  • Steel and Forging Plants
    For heating billets or blooms to rolling or forging temperature (typically 1,100–1,250°C).

  • Rolling Mills
    For reheating steel before it enters hot rolling operations.

  • Seamless Pipe Manufacturing
    For heating billets prior to piercing and elongation.

  • Foundries
    To heat raw ingots or scrap for melting or forming.
