Riedhammer presents the new concept “Low-O2-Technology & Energy Efficiency for Firing Electrodes in Car Bottom Furnaces".

The bogie hearth furnace is ideal for batch production processes in which products receive specific properties over a longer processing period and for which a furnace car is either a requirement or is very useful for putting products into the effective space or for treating products.

As the world's leading manufacturer of ring pit furnaces for baking electrodes and special carbon products, RIEDHAMMER extended the company's portfolio in 2012 by building the first of a new and innovative design of car bottom furnace for the thermal treatment of electrodes and special carbon products.

The CBF – CAR BOTTOM FURNACE is therefore distinguished especially by a high energy efficiency and a low specific energy consumption.

The plant also includes a shuttle kiln, again supplied by Sacmi / Riedhammer, a 9-car HWS model able to re-fire up to 1,100 pieces a day.

Participants will also be able to learn more about important topics such as off-line programming of glazing robots or the shuttle kiln with self-recuperative burners.

The high-flux system developed is now suitable for operation and delivers a reduction in firing temperatures to 1,060°C and an energy saving of 37% on a trolley kiln.

As the world’s leading manufacturer of ring pit furnaces for baking electrodes and special carbon products, RIEDHAMMER extended the company’s portfolio in 2012 by building the first of a new and innovative design of car bottom furnace for the thermal treatment of electrodes and special carbon products.

Let’s take as an example the car bottom preheating furnace we have supplied, with a 22 m long working space, used to forge long rotors and shafts up to 450 tonnes in total charge load.

This HWS 9/600/140-G FL shuttle kiln, featuring a total volume of 75 cubic metres in its 2-deck configuration, joins a kiln of the same model supplied back in 2008 .The kiln contains six 6-metre wide cars, each of which can be loaded with up to forty heavy, complex pieces such as one-piece WCs weighing up to 40 kg each.

In August, a new Sacmi-made shuttle kiln was tested in the Ukraine at the Slavutskiy Budfarforplant, belonging to the Sanitec Group.

Roller burnishing can, of course, be carried out with various special equipment such as manually or electrically moveable bogie hearth furnaces. Example: Industrial furnaces with roller burnishing as optional special equipment

This is a shuttle kiln with a massive 95 cubic metre capacity, a HWS 13.5/500/140 with “Firelane” burners, with two lifting doors and ceramic fibre lining.

At the same time RIEDHAMMER has developed, based on the EKO concept, a car bottom furnace (CBF) for the re-bake of electrodes which stands out due to the following characteristics:

In order to achieve the required properties and quality of part surfaces, we use our own heat-treatment shop, where all kinds of heat treatment processes - including stress relief annealing (carried out in a bogie hearth furnace), cementing, hardening, gas and plasma nitriding, shot-blasting and black finishing - are carried out.

Riedhammer has received an order from a producer of cookware in South Korea for a new shuttle kiln for glost-firing of stoneware cookware.

This latest installation - successfully tested a few months ago and already boosting output at the plant - is a 126 m3 HWS 15/600/140-G FL shuttle kiln.

The factory with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons produces vitrified clay pipes & fittings from DN 100 to DN 1200 and jacking pipes from DN 150 to DN 1000 by using a Riedhammer shuttle kiln for firing the pipes and a Riedhammer rotary furnace for calcining fireclay.

Chamber furnaces are available in all sizes and with all special equipment.

Bogie-hearth furnaces for temperatures up to 850 °C also available in gas-fired version.

Bogie-hearth furnaces are also suitable for receiving heavy loads.

A drastic reduction of fluorine content was achieved by running the two shuttle kilns in combination with the use of a following dryer.

The shuttle kilns are well known for the excellent temperature distribution and the high rate of first quality final products.

These bogie-hearth furnaces with air circulation are especially designed for heat treatment of large batches and heavy charging weights.

Note: This item does not cover tunnel kilns with roller or car conveyance, tunnel kilns with conveyor belt, pusher type kilns or shuttle kilns, specially designed for the production of glass, tableware ceramics or structural ceramics.

Besides their chamber counterparts, car bottom preheating furnaces are most frequently used to heat up ingots and semi-finished items in forges.

The new factory covering an area of 60,000 m2 produces in 4 Riedhammer shuttle kilns equipped with the latest & most advanced technology in the world of V.C. pipe production.
