Rolling furnace

Secondary aluminium processing requires further forming of hot material. This can include pressing or shaping to get the desired size. In order to keep the material in a formable shape, it is important to remain at high temperatures throughout the process.

The Kanthal portfolio has been in rolling mills of aluminium customers for quite some time. Specifically, the air heating cassettes are utilized to heat the 7 ton slabs of aluminium before entering the furnace.

The cassette design allows for years of minimal maintenance, but still easy replacement when it is needed for reduced down time in between processes.
