Forever Electromechanical Rolls Out Stable Induction Reheating Furnace for Steel Billet Forging & Rolling

Bottlenecks of Traditional Billet Reheating for Metal Forging Lines

Forging and hot rolling manufacturers worldwide face persistent challenges with conventional gas-fired steel billet induction heating machine. Flame heating suffers from slow response, uneven core-surface temperature and heavy oxide scale loss. Cold billets heated directly in high-temperature chambers create large thermal gradients, triggering internal stress, surface cracks and inconsistent metallographic structure. Temperature fluctuation reduces forging quality, raises scrap rate and causes premature die wear. Gas furnaces also consume massive fuel, produce high carbon emissions and require long preheating and shutdown cycles, limiting flexible batch switching between round and square billets. As the forging industry pursues stable, low-carbon and intelligent thermal processing, Forever Electromechanical releases upgraded steel billet heating and reheating furnace, delivering reliable induction heating solutions for continuous billet pre-forging reheating.

Modular IGBT Induction Design Delivers Uniform Through-Heating

Forever Electromechanical’s billet reheating furnace adopts fully digital IGBT medium-frequency induction power supply as core heating unit. The segmented multi-zone coil layout achieves volumetric heating from billet core to surface, eliminating big temperature difference between outer layer and inner metal. High-precision infrared pyrometers cooperate with PLC closed-loop control system to monitor temperature in real time. The system automatically adjusts output frequency, power and conveying speed according to billet material, dimension and target forging temperature. It maintains tight temperature tolerance across billet head, middle and tail sections. Unlike flame furnaces, induction heating finishes heat-up rapidly, greatly reducing oxidation and decarburization, cutting metal loss from scale formation and keeping billet surface quality stable before rolling or forging.

Automated Conveying System Guarantees Continuous Stable Operation

The complete line integrates automatic feeding, centering positioning, multi-stage induction reheating, heat preservation and discharging modules. Billets are steadily pushed through induction coils at controllable speed without repeated manual handling. The continuous workflow avoids temperature drop and surface contamination during transfer. Modular coil structure supports quick specification changeover for carbon steel, alloy steel and special steel billets. Saved process recipes can be recalled instantly, shortening switching time for different billet sizes. This stable feeding and heating workflow prevents overheating or underheating defects, greatly improving finished part consistency after forging and rolling.

Energy Saving & Low Oxidation Reduce Long-Term Production Expense

Induction heating converts electric energy directly inside steel billet, reaching high power factor above 0.95. Compared with traditional gas reheating furnaces, the equipment cuts energy consumption significantly and removes direct combustion emissions. It features zero idle power loss; operators can start or stop the furnace in minutes instead of hours. The compact footprint saves workshop space. Induction coils adopt wear-resistant insulation design for easy maintenance and replacement, minimizing production downtime. The furnace supports round-the-clock continuous running for mass billet reheating, well suited for medium and large forging and hot rolling workshops.
