he service temperature in pusher furnaces is usually equal to 1.250°C.
Blanks (sheet slabs or blooms) are moving along the entire furnace length by means of pushers. These furnaces are quite popular because of small installation and maintenance costs as compared to other heating furnaces.
There are two types of furnace bottoms:
- flat hearth (in this case, blanks move along metal gravity conveyors and baddeleyite-corundum products of BAKOR type);
- tubular hearth (in this case, blanks move along piper riders).
The major abrasive wear of the hearth lining occurs in baddeleyite-corundum products.
Our lining systems guarantee quick and easy installation, good heat insulation and overall savings on power costs. The wide range of heat insulation materials allows us to perform repair and maintenance works on pusher-type furnaces successfully.

A walking-beam furnace is a continuous furnace, whose blanks are transported by means of the cyclical forward-backward motion of water-cooled beams. The transportation principle of the blanks is similar to the one used in walking-hearth furnaces. Differences are related to water-cooled beams.
The main advantage of WBF is a quadraple, or the quickest heating of blanks.
The main disadvantage is a network of water-cooled beams (support tubes), thus leading to considerable heat losses with cooling water. The service temperature reaches 1.250 °C.

Roller-hearth furnace is a continous-action through-type furnace, the hearth of which consists of a great number of rollers moved by a special drive. These rollers are made of heat-resistant steel or are water-cooled. Roller-hearth furnaces are used for thermal treatment of metal products or for metal heating prior to applying the hot-rolling method. Rollers are the most critical elements of roller-hearth furnaces. Furnaces with the gas temperature of 800–1000 °C are equipped with uncooled rollers; with the temperature of 1.000–1.200 °C—rollers with a water-cooled drive shaft.
In a vast majority of cases, rollers are designed water-cooled; with a smooth roll made of heat-resistant chrome-nickel steel.
Our lining systems guarantee quick and easy installation, good heat insulation, and overall savings on power costs. The wide range of heat insulation materials allows us to perform successful repairs on roller furnaces.

A circular kiln is an industrial furnace, wh ere products are heated on a rotary hearth.
Circular kilns are mainly used for heating blanks during tube rolling, wheels, and the kiln tyres of the rolling stock for thermal treatment of metal products as well as for heating non-ferrous blanks prior to rolling.
A circular kiln consists of a rotary hearth and an arched immobile ring-shaped channel. The blanks are positioned on a flat hearth by using pits. These places concentrate thermomechanical stress resulting in destruction of the pits and uneven heating of blanks. Therefore, all used materials shall have considerable abrasion resistance and small-case thermal expansion.
Our lining systems guarantee quick and easy installation, good heat insulation, and overall savings on power costs. The wide range of heat insulation materials allows us to perform successful repairs on circular kilns.
