Mercaterra offers customized solutions to meet customers' production requirements.
This approach has allowed Mercaterra to become the preferred supplier of component parts for many international steel companies.
In order to meet the needs of customers involved in the metallurgical industry, Mercaterra designs and manufactures component parts and main production units for furnaces of various types, including:
-
Car-bottom batch furnace
A car-bottom batch furnace is a furnace where blanks are loaded/unloaded by a workshop crane to/from the hearth rolled out of the furnace
Example of a batch furnace for annealing aluminum alloy tape coils in an air or protective atmosphere -
Fixed-hearth batch furnace
A fixed-hearth batch furnace is a furnace where blanks are loaded/unloaded by mechanical devices installed outside the furnace.
Example of a batch furnace for heating and homogenization of aluminum alloy slabs -
Roller-hearth furnace
A roller-hearth furnace is a continuous through-type furnace. The hearth of this furnace consists of a large number of rotating rollers made of heat-resistant steel or water-cooled with their own special drive
Example of the flotation furnace installation for tape (strip) heat treatment with direct electric heating -
Strand-type furnace
A strand-type furnace is a continuous furnace for thermal or thermochemical treatment of metal strips, tapes or wires, as well as for heating the strips for continuous butt welding. -
Furnaces for heating rectangular or cylindrical blanks
Equipment system for heating hard rectangular or cylindrical blanks for changing the plastic properties or structure of materials -
Pusher furnace
A pusher furnace is a furnace where the blanks are moved along the furnace using an external device - a pusher.
Example of installation of pusher furnaces for heating and homogenization of aluminum alloy slabs before hot rolling -
Walking hearth furnace
A walking hearth furnace is a continuous furnace where the blanks move cyclically due to the reciprocal movement of the hearth. -
Walking beam furnace
A walking beam furnace is a continuous furnace where the blanks move cyclically due to the reciprocal movement of the water-cooled beams. -
Sectional heater
A sectional heater is a through-type furnace where round blanks are subjected to high-speed heating before rolling.
Mercaterra engineers provide full technical support for projects for the reconstruction or modernization of furnaces, optimal selection of equipment, timely preparation of design documentation, acceptance and tests at the Customer's facility, as well as provide supervising installation services, carry out commissioning, provide warranty and post-warranty service, carry out real-time technical analysis of the equipment’s condition and supply of the necessary spare parts
Cooperation, transparency and communication with customers combined with flexibility and technical capabilities provide an exceptional experience to the customers. These factors were one of the main reasons why Mercaterra was able to establish its trademark among its customers.
