Read details Core data
Numbers buyers ask for first.
Before quotation, AKS checks whether the strip range, furnace speed, TV process value, heating method and controlled atmosphere match the plant target. These figures are not keyword filler; they are the first engineering filters for line layout, utility load, cooling design and automation scope.
| Width options | 450-1780 mm |
|---|---|
| Thickness range | 0.03-8.0 mm |
| Standard furnace speed | 15-45 m/min; TV 7-12 |
| High-speed furnace speed | 40-120 m/min; TV 10-30 |
| Controlled atmosphere | N₂, H₂, or dissociated ammonia |
- Energy saving: 15% compared with comparable equipment.
- Electrically heated furnace rated power: 360 kW.
- Annual inspection cycle and 1% equipment failure rate.
Control data
Keep the strip stable when speed changes.
AKS furnace controls combine Siemens PLC, touch-screen HMI, automatic records, process fault alarms and real-time energy monitoring. The goal is to keep temperature, atmosphere and strip travel visible to operators instead of hiding quality risk inside the line.
- Temperature control accuracy: ±5°C.
- AKS atmosphere control target: <10 ppm.
- Explosion protection, overtemperature alarm and power-failure protection.
Applications
Built for strip mills where brightness, flatness and yield matter.
Applications cover stainless steel BA/2BA lines and selected non-ferrous strip projects where surface oxidation, cooling curve and tension control affect finished value.
Stainless steel strip
200, 300 and 400 series stainless steel strip for BA/2BA finish requirements, including surface brightness and flatness targets.
Aluminum and titanium strip
Customized heating, cooling and atmosphere routes for non-ferrous strip projects where oxidation and thermal deformation need close control.
Copper and brass strip
Continuous line design for bright surface output, repeatable cooling and production stability across coil batches.
