Why GUMEN Billet & Die Heating?

🔥

Uniform Temperature Distribution

±5°C uniformity is achieved across the billet cross-section. When the billet temperature entering the extrusion press is stable, die life and profile quality improve.

Gas or Induction Option

Choose between regenerative gas-fired or induction heating systems. The optimum solution based on capacity, energy cost, and line layout.

🚃

Integrated Charge Car

Billet transfer is safe and fast with the automatic or semi-automatic charge car system. Cycle time is reduced and workplace safety is improved.

Extrusion Line Integration

From the homogenization furnace to the extrusion press, all GUMEN systems operate integrated on a common PLC infrastructure.

GUMEN Billet Heating Furnaces

The temperature and uniformity of the billet entering the extrusion press directly affects profile quality and die life. GUMEN billet heating furnaces offer regenerative gas-fired or induction designs optimised for every billet diameter and capacity.

With charge car integration, billets are transferred safely and quickly from the furnace to the extrusion press. PLC-controlled temperature profile provides repeatable process assurance for every billet.

⚡ Induction or Gas?

Induction heating provides fast warm-up and high energy density, suitable for small and medium capacity lines. Regenerative gas-fired systems offer lower operating costs for large capacity and continuous operation profiles. GUMEN manufactures both technologies and determines the right choice with the customer based on capacity/energy analysis.
