What is a Billet Reheating Furnace?
A billet reheating furnace is a specific kind of industrial furnace that heats semi-finished steel pieces-cold billets, blooms, slabs, and other metal workpieces to a uniform optimum temperature that is required by subsequent hot rolling, forging, and metal forming operations. These furnaces basically act as a link between the casting process and the hot rolling process, hence are crucial in changing raw metal into finished products in manufacturing steel.
Trymax Furnaces offers specialised billet reheating furnaces for steel rolling mills, forging units, and metal processing industries. Our wide portfolio of billet reheating furnaces comprises furnaces for meeting various production capacities and operational requirements, such as pusher type, walking beam, and top and bottom fired billet reheating furnaces. Our billet reheating furnaces are engineered to deliver high efficiency, precision in temperature control, and reliable performance across demanding operational environments.

Served
Limited Production Throughput
Inability to efficiently process a large volume of billets, limiting the number of billets heated per hour and restricting total furnace capacity. This directly constrains revenue generation and market opportunities.
Inconsistent Product Quality
The cumulative effect of the above challenges leads to variable product characteristics, surface defects, dimensional inconsistencies and reduced material qualities, preventing steel mills from meeting stringent international quality standards.
Temperature Control Issues
Traditional furnace systems that can’t maintain consistent chamber temperatures create cold spots in billets. This causes uneven heating, leading to product defects, reduced strength, and higher rejection rates.
Poor Fuel Efficiency
Fuel waste occurs because of major heat losses, unrecovered flue-gas energy, prolonged billet retention, and inefficient combustion, forcing them to run at unnecessarily high temperatures and increases their carbon footprint.
Higher Downtime Risk
Elevated equipment failure risks and unpredictable maintenance patterns due to absence of real time monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities, leading to catastrophic operational interruptions.
Challenges Faced by Steel Manufacturers in Oman
How does our Billet Reheating Furnace solves those challenges
Advanced Temperature Control
Individually controlled burners and thermocouples are strategically positioned throughout the furnace chamber to achieve a consistent, uniform temperature distribution across entire billet cross-section.
Superior Energy Efficiency
Advanced insulation minimises heat loss through the furnace walls, roof, and floor. High-efficiency burners and optimised combustion systems further boost fuel performance. Integrated waste heat recovery units capture and reuse energy from exhaust gases, improving overall efficiency.
Exceptional Reliability
Robust steel build and precision-engineered components that withstand extreme industrial conditions without premature degradation. Beyond durable construction, our systems can be integrated with advanced performance monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities.
Optimised Production Throughput
High-efficiency furnace design engineered to maintain billet processing throughput while maintaining stringent quality standards. This is achieved by the use of optimised heating curves, efficient zone management, and fast heat transfer that significantly increase the number of billets processed per hour.
Superior Product Quality
Combining all above factors elevates finished product quality with superior metallurgical properties, exceptional surface finish consistent dimensional characteristics and reliable performance specifications.

Types of Billet Reheating Furnace in Oman
- Billets pass through the heating chambers of the furnace in continuous succession and are pushed forward by mechanical pushers.
- Designed for efficient, high-volume billet movement with accurately engineered charging pushers and discharge ejectors that minimise mechanical strain.
- Offers straightforward operation with high efficiency and reliable performance.
- Billets are lifted and moved forward in controlled incremental steps through multiple heating zones.
- Provides excellent temperature homogeneity and temperature control, suitable for billets, blooms, and slabs in all dimensions and steel grades.
- Enables smooth and gentle handling of the billet, which leads to uniform heating, reduced distortion, and enhanced metallurgical properties.
- Fitted with burners above and below the billets for the purpose of ensuring balanced heat penetration from all sides.
- Provides a uniform exposure to temperature throughout the heating cycle, which improves energy efficiency and reduces oxidation and scaling.
- Widely utilized for heating larger cross-section billets and slabs normally processed in plate mills.
Our Billet Reheating Process Workflow
01
Loading Billets
The steel billets are located at the entrance of the furnace, positioned correctly for the heating cycle.
02
Preheating Zone
The steel billets are located at the entrance of the furnace, positioned correctly for the heating cycle.
03
Heating Zone
The powerful burners or induction systems raise the temperature of the billet to rolling or forging levels, usually above 1,100°C.
04
Soaking Zone
This is the area where billets rest to allow heat to reach the core uniformly for consistent internal integrity and quality.
05
Temperature Monitoring
Advanced sensors and automated controls maintain accurate temperatures throughout the process without overheating or hot spots.
06
Cooling Billets
After reaching the desired temperature, billets exit the furnace and proceed to rolling, forging, or further shaping while still red-hot.
