As demands on thermal equipment are becoming more exacting in many fields, existing gas-fired billet heaters are not exempt from the modernisation drive. In this context, Otto Junker places the focus not merely on asset maintenance which restores the plant approximately to its as-delivered condition. The company rather relies on concepts aimed at boosting the system's efficiency and utility value for the benefit of the user. These essentially comprise the following: 1. increase in throughput rate 2. more homogenous heating quality 3. more uniform heating power input into the billets 4. reduction in energy consumption 5. lower maintenance costs 6. improved exhaust gas quality.
