Wet rolls for tunnel furnaces
Thermocast manufactures wet rolls for tunnel furnaces for the production of thin slabs.
Our wet rolls can reach max. temperatures up to 1300° C and they are supplied with a special water cooling lances and insulation specifically developed for these working conditions,
that grants a minimal energy dispersion (25.000/30.000kcal/h).
Tunnel furnaces (or roller hearth slab reheat furnaces) provide one of the toughest environments for cast steel fabrications. With temperatures approaching 2300° F, these rolls are expected to carry the full weight of the slab being heated to rolling temperatures. Duraloy's dry rolls, manufactured in our proprietary alloys, have proven themselves as the best rolls in the world. Dry rolls provide several advantages over "wet" or water-cooled rolls. First, in a tunnel furnace transfer car, they eliminate the need for flexible water hoses to be hanging from the shuttle. Dry rolls minimize heat loss in the furnace, reducing energy consumption. Duraloy's proprietary MO-RE 2150® alloy has allowed furnace operators to retrofit entire furnaces with dry rolls.
