NUTEC Bickley'sLadle Preheaters and Heaters are designed to promote gas recirculation, which increases convective heat transfer to the ladle's refractory lining. This results in shorter heating times, better refractory temperature uniformity, and reduced thermal shock to the bricks.
Ladle Dryers play a crucial role in ensuring optimal performance. They achieve this by thoroughly drying the refractory lining of the casting pot before operation. This drying process, typically conducted at a moderate temperature range of 300-320°C (570-600°F), guarantees the refractory bricks retain their optimal properties.
The top of these units can be manufactured with ceramic fiber modules or refractory concrete, thus minimizing heat loss. At NUTEC Bickley, we offer both configurations, vertical and horizontal ladle preheaters, heaters, and dryers, depending on the requirements of the steel foundry.
At NUTEC Bickley, we can offer complete control and instrumentation solutions to meet the needs of each client. From something as simple as a digital controller to the most sophisticated systems, including PLC, SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition), and Panel View, all of these are customized according to the dimensions and mechanisms required by our clients.
Additionally, we specialize in refurbishing heater insulation and supplying the necessary spare parts to keep your existing equipment functioning optimally. With a proven track record of supplying thousands of industrial heating systems worldwide, NUTEC Bickley ensures global coverage for all your thermal treatment needs.
