Ladle Preheating

Our proprietary oxy-fuel ladle preheating systems are designed to heat all types of ladles quickly and efficiently. Fuel savings on the order of 60-65% are routinely achieved due to the significant reduction of hot exhaust gas volumes as compared to air-fuel preheaters. Faster, hotter ladles, with less fuel consumed can all add up to significant cost savings and enhanced productivity. The best solution for your ladle preheating needs depends on many factors, such as your existing ladle preheater’s operating parameters, fuel costs, and production schedule. Our applications engineers can help you implement tailored systems to meet your specific needs.

Gases
Oxygen	Oxygen is required for any combustion process. By supplementing or replacing combustion air with oxygen, overall combustion can be improved through increased heat transfer, higher flame temperatures, and reduced volume of flue gases. As a result, oxy-fuel ladle preheaters are able to hit target temperatures much faster by reducing or eliminating wait times for ladles.	MSDS Library Supply Options
