Continuous furnaces

Switching from gas to electric heating in roller hearth furnaces enhances temperature control, and energy efficiency while eliminating emissions. Kanthal offers a range of high-performance heating solutions, including Globar® silicon carbide (SiC) heating elements, to deliver precise, uniform temperatures for improved product quality, reduced energy waste, and a cleaner, more efficient production process.

Kanthal offers a range of electric heating solutions for an emissions-free annealing process, designed to meet varied temperature requirements and atmospheric conditions. Metallic heating elements reach 1,200°C (2,192°F), while Globar® silicon carbide (SiC) heating elements withstand temperatures up to 1,625°C (2,927°F). With a flexible, customizable portfolio, Kanthal helps manufacturers transition to cleaner, more efficient annealing processes tailored to diverse furnace needs.

Aside from creating a better working environment, replacing gas heating with Kanthal’s electric solutions has superior temperature control which ensures consistent steel properties throughout the galvanizing line process. And by using renewable energy, the process effectively becomes emissions-free.
