Energy saving Setpoint Management Software for Continuous Furnaces

Wesman is pleased to announce that jointly with a USA based software developer it has developed an off-line software to manage optimum heating strategy for Walking Beam, Pusher, Rotary Hearth Furnaces used in Steel Reheating and Forging Applications.

Use of this easy to use powerful 'intelligent' tool will save the end user enormous energy costs by giving the optimum setpoint for the furnace zones. The use of the software, with a a payback period of only a few months, will also  improve the overall thermal and metallurgical performance of the continuous furnace processing any size, shape or grade in normal operation as well as during unforeseen delays or interruptions that occur in continuous mill operations in steel plants.
