From the early days of the department around 1990 we started engineering our furnaces with cutting-edge tools such as CAD (2D computer-aided design) and then, in the year 2000, evolved to use 3D software tools.

The main aim of the temperature control function is to keep a furnace operating within certain predefined values and it is composed of two main parts:

February the 18th 1975 marked the first day in the life of Nutec Group, a family-owned company that over time has become a recognized leader in the world of industrial heating and high-temperature insulation. Throughout the intervening period, the company has experienced several different...

One of the biggest deterrents against use of waste heat recuperators and boilers in aluminum smelting furnaces is the use of chemicals to make molten metal flow.

Many of these compounds contain chlorine or fluorine, which react with the hydrogen in the metal to form hydrogen chloride or hydrogen...

Frequently, our industry customers have special needs due to the processes that they carry out or the particular materials used during production.

This is a timely moment to reflect briefly on last year’s achievements and to look forward to plans for 2020.

Tunnel kilns are the most efficient in the industry, being used regularly in factories with high continuous production, since the fuel production/consumption ratio is high.

When working with high temperatures using natural gas, if an industrial furnace does not have its safety regulatory instruments properly adjusted it is almost as if we had a time bomb waiting to explode in our plant.

Iron foundry is a very specialized industry in both equipment and machinery. That is why commonly in new projects, repairs and maintenance, contractors and installers often encounter problems due to the lack of experience of suppliers in the industry:Some examples of these difficulties are:

• ...

Boiler burners, process furnaces and incinerators must be properly protected against gas-fueled fires and explosions in the event of some combustion system failure.
