Kanthal can offer Electric Heating Element Technology and Savings on Furnace and Casting Line Refurbishment

Operational savings and life expectancy on heating elements for industrial heating can be rewarding. Kanthal offer alternative heating opportunities for furnace refurbishments. Often a furnace builder replaces like with like, but now there is a real alternative in upgrading individual furnace heating systems as well as looking at entire plant solutions. Kanthal is also educating the end user as well as the furnace builder.

On primary aluminium plants Kanthal reach agreements to review existing processes and develop alternative solutions starting preliminary design and testing at the plant as well as working on the project in Sweden.

Within a primary aluminium plant there are two main areas for electric heaters:
