Induction Tube Heating Prior To Stretch Reducing Mill

When it comes to stretch reducing mill for tubes (SRM), the pre-heating temperature accuracy of the tube is a key parameter for optimizing the reducing process. Prior to entering the hot stretch reducing mill, tube shells are heated by induction to approximately 1100°C. Inductotherm  specializes in the design of induction heating systems and offers  high performance solution for this application. This type of heating system has been designed in collaboration with large tube producers in order to optimize the main parameters such as temperature accuracy, efficiency, …
