Vertical looper furnace data.
For high-speed bright annealing projects requiring vertical strip storage and stable continuous running. This design is used when the plant needs higher line speed without losing control of strip travel, atmosphere protection or cooling stability.
The vertical looper arrangement helps manage strip accumulation while keeping the furnace line compact. AKS reviews strip width, coil handling, thickness range, target TV process value, available utilities and plant layout before confirming the number of looper groups and the full furnace configuration.
