Product - SMS group GmbH

SMS group offers environmental-friendly reheating and heat treatment solutions for ingots, slabs, billets, blooms, and beam blanks. The broad portfolio of SMS burners for reheating furnaces supports the use of multiple fuels, including hydrogen. This flexibility enables SMS customers to reduce both their fossil fuel consumption and the carbon footprint of their entire rolling mill. In addition, all burners provide state-of-the-art combustion control, high performance, and low operating costs, while also being suitable for retrofit projects.

Furnaces ranging from 10 to 400 tons per hour capacity processing the most diverse semi-products
Best in the industry efficiency level, as low as 250 kcal/kg
Burners with the capability of firing with multiple fuels, from any kind of fossil, to iron-making off gases to hydrogen
SMS ZEROFlame flameless technology that ensures NOx lower than 40 ppm
The most advanced mathematical model of X-Pact® Prometheus

Pusher type furnace

Pusher furnaces are typically suitable for low-production mills for common steel grades, for example rebar mills. Top-fired pusher type furnaces combine the benefits of a sturdy construction and simplicity in design with low consumption. Top and bottom-fired pusher type furnaces are capable of high production rates. Pusher type furnaces are an inexpensive, yet sturdy and reliable, alternative to more sophisticated walking hearth furnaces or walking beam furnaces for the production of long and flat products.

Walking beam furnace

SMS group walking beam furnaces, both top and bottom-fired, allow for high production rates and top quality steel grades. Billets, heavy blooms, slabs and beam blanks can be processed. Walking beam furnaces feature special skid beams with cast alloy parts which endure high temperatures and mechanical stresses. SMS group continuously works on the development and integration of new designs and materials. Thanks to the advanced combustion system, all SMS walking beam furnaces are highly flexible in operation.

Walking hearth furnace

Walking hearth furnaces are the optimum choice for many long products mills with production rates of up to 150 tons per hour. A major advantage of this furnace type is that it allows for very low specific consumption figures, achieved thanks to the absence of water-cooled elements inside the furnace.

Rotary hearth furnace

We believe in holistic solutions as the key to quality leadership. That’s why we combine our seamless tube mill with high-end furnaces. Both, rotary hearth furnaces and shell reheating furnaces, are fully integrated into the rolling process. They combine high capacities with special materials and components for maximum temperature endurance to withstand the high temperatures typical of this process – in order to reduce your maintenance costs. High-tech combustion systems guarantee temperature uniformity and minimum energy consumption.
