TUNNEL FURNACE LEVEL
2 CONTROL SYSTEM
One particular
application that benefits greatly from a Level 2
system is a Tunnel furnace. Because of the
relatively short heating times and the requirement
for a Tunnel furnace to wait for the mill, the
actual temperatures of the strips can fluctuate. A
Level 2 system can help reduce these variations,
determine the temperatures and communicate with
other plant systems.
Features and Advantages
- Accurate actual and predicted
discharge temperatures provided for
mill setup.
- Uniform product heating with
minimal rundown.
- Specifically engineered for
tunnel furnace reheat supervisory
control.
- More systems worldwide than all
other suppliers.
- Enthusiastically accepted by
both furnace operators and
production supervisors.
- Easily expandable or tunable for
future customer needs.
- Minimizes damage to furnace
components through consistent
product temperatures and heating
methods.
- Industry proven, continuous
product enhancements over the last
20 years.
