The customer’s choice is a three chamber CaseMaster Evolution (CMe)® furnace which will be used for heat exchangers. The client has decided on Seco/Warwick vacuum technology after a long period of trials with single and double chamber furnaces.
More information 2020-05-18Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent closure or reduction of business, the ANDRITZ (China) Ltd. foundry lost almost 20 working days and around 90 tons of output in February 2020. This caused a high backlog of 305 tons of open pouring production orders in the period from March to April 2020.
More information 2020-05-18The furnace shell, hearth and return rolls will be refurbished to near-new condition. The entire operation will be completely automated with Can-Eng’s PET (process enhancement technology) from the furnace charging robot pick position through to the heat-treatment process. The furnace line will go back into operation in the first quarter of 2021 and will be used for normalizing alloyed automotive forgings.

Thanks to this prioritisation and the investments made in recent years, including upgraded control and automation systems, Ovako is now ready to take the next step. The use of hydrogen in combustion would have a great positive effect on the environment since the only emission generated is water vapor.
More information 2020-05-11The bending angle adjustment on the transfluid MB 642 bending machine makes it possible to produce bends with precise bending angles. It is not necessary to have a straight area between the bends, which means the complete bending geometry can be extremely compact.

More information 2020-05-06Ovako, together with Linde Gas AB, conducted a full-scale trial using hydrogen to heat steel before rolling. The trial was performed with good results in one of the company’s pit furnaces at the Hofors rolling mill in Sweden. This historic development for the steel industry proves that carbon dioxide emissions from rolling can be eliminated provided the right financial support and infrastructure are in place.
