Annealing of Aluminium Cable Coils up to +300 °C
ㅤㅤ
Il Disgelo designed and built for Tratos, at its Mönchengladbach plant in Germany, an 11,700-litre DOT VULKAR SAE industrial tunnel oven for the annealing and stress relieving of aluminium cable coils.
ㅤ
Developed Solution
- structure made of 4 coupled modules that can be dismantled for transport, with an AISI 304 stainless-steel interior and 250 mm rock-wool insulation;
- oven body moving on rails, with motorised movement allowed only with the doors open and below 60 °C, protected by infrared barriers and photocells;
- 2 pneumatically operated guillotine doors with anti-crush edge and double silicone gasket;
- reinforced floors for static loads above 20,000 kg;
- heating by bare-wire elements and 4 radial fans, for uniform heat distribution across the whole load;
- control via the CliMaLogic® platform, touch panel in Italian, English and French, and remote assistance;
- factory acceptance test in Leinì, followed by installation, commissioning and staff training in Germany.
