Encopanels

Heat retention system for Hot Strip Mills

Encopanels
  • Reradiates heat, usually lost to the atmosphere, back into the transfer bar
  • Improved head and tail end temperatures, resulting in less scrap material and improved yield
  • Lower reheat furnace drop out temperatures, enabling reduced power and emissions
  • Greater product mix due to improved thermography of product across length and width
  • Reduced finishing mill load requirements, lowering power consumption and operating costs 
  • Modular design enables easy replacement of the heat retention cells, reducing maintenance time and costs
