Abstract

Automation and energy efficiency are key features in furnace technology in today’s world. The article at hand discusses the worldwide first bell-type annealing plant with fully automatic crane operation and the experience gained by more than 10 years of successful operation. In addition, the sophisticated energy efficiency measures with extended energy recovery during the cooling cycle and subsequent transformation and use of this energy (i.e. by production of electrical energy) are described.
