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.

Salt Bath Furnace: High-Performance Heat Treatment for Precision and Speed

Heat treatment is an essential process in metal manufacturing, influencing the mechanical properties and performance of finished products. Among the various heat treatment furnaces available, the salt bath furnace stands out for its rapid heat transfer, uniform heating, and oxidation-free processing . Commonly used in industries requiring high precision, salt bath furnaces are ideal for hardening, tempering, annealing, and austempering a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. In this blog, we’ll explore what a salt bath furnace is, how it works, its key benefits, and the industries that rely on it for thermal processing excellence. What Is a Salt Bath Furnace? A salt bath furnace is a type of industrial furnace that uses molten salt as the heating medium instead of air or gas. The workpieces are directly immersed into a liquid bath of inorganic salts (such as nitrates, nitrites, or chlorides) maintained at specific temperatures. This method provides uniform heating , min...

Difference between Process Annealing and Full Annealing

A quick comparison between process annealing and full annealing of steel  Process Annealing Steel warmed underneath the basic temperature, save it at that temperature for while then cooled gradually. Likewise called subcritical annealing. Reasonable for low carbon steel  Stage change not engaged with this process. The material is in a similar stage in all through the process.  process annealing is less expensive than full annealing.  Utilized in sheet metal and wire enterprises.  Full Annealing Heat eutectic steel 30 to 50 °C over its basic temperature, save it at that temperature for while then gradually cooled down. Appropriate in low mild steel just as in high carbon steel.  Stage change happened during the Full annealing process. The resulting crystal structure is laminated perlite. Come about metal is more ductile, and this process is utilized in steel for deep drawing operation. Get Complete Custom Engineered Solutions in various capacities to meet th...
