QSA has developed and installed several turnkey equipment at different location over the world .
For its new investment in steel making for producing on its own ingots of 50 tons , a leader company in the forging market contacted QSA to be part of its huge project since the beginning ( layout design start) for providing :
- The correct number of reheating furnaces required
- The most suitable size of furnace according to the production and grades to be treated
- The configuration of load according to size of ingots and grade
- The matrix of expected weekly optimized production versus the capacity of melting unit.
- The all parameter settings for each grade of steel , dimensions of ingot , and weight of load
Few technical proposals have been explored and worked out with both technical engineer teams before we agreed on one.
The retained solution has been to use 2 reheating furnaces of 100 tons maxi load for each.
The reheating furnaces included as well a cooling system to assure a controlled cooling inside the chamber when required
The installation has been executed within 40 days and trials could be done on different sizes and weight.
QSA provided through a matrix the overall settings of the furnaces for the reheating required cycles of ingot as well as the settings for the controlled cooling inside the chamber when required.
