Homogenizing furnaces & cooling chamber

OTTO JUNKER batch type homogenizing furnaces for extrusion billets allow homogenizing of a wide range of billet sizes with very close temperature tolerances. Batch type homogenizing furnaces provide the necessary flexibility when producing billets in many different diameters and alloys.

The furnaces together with the charging machine operate semi automatically, controlled by PLC systems with HMI interfaces that allow control of the process via menus for each size and alloy and even custom designed menu's so that each batch can be treated in accordance with special requirements of individual customers or for specific end-products

In-furnace cooling can be integrated in the homogenizing furnace to allow initial cooling down of the billets in accordance with the metallurgical requirements for optimum characteristics of the homogenized end product.

Heating can be by gas, light oil or electrical. Gas and oil heating can be by direct firing or via radiant tube burners.
