What is a Billet Reheating Furnace?
A billet reheating furnace is a type of industrial furnace that heats semi-finished steel products-cold billets, blooms, and slabs-along with other metal parts to a uniform, optimal temperature for further hot rolling, forging, and other metal forming operations. These furnaces bridge the casting process to hot rolling and are therefore very crucial in the transformation of the raw metal into finished products during the manufacture of steel.
Trymax Furnaces provides billet reheating furnace solutions, specially designed for steel rolling mills, forging shops, and metal processing industries. With a complete range of billet reheating furnaces, we are capable of providing various production capacities and operational requirements. Types of these furnaces include pusher type, walking beam, and top and bottom fired billet reheating furnaces. Our reheating furnaces for billet are designed for high efficiency, exact temperature control, and reliable operation in the most demanding environments.
Key Features of Trymax’s Billet Reheating Furnace
- Continuous Heating Design: Provides for continuous processing with accurate temperature control and uniform heat distribution throughout all the billets to minimize down time while maximizing production flow.
- High Energy Efficiency: Advanced recuperators and precision-engineered burners can lower fuel consumption, offering cost savings while also supporting sustainable industrial operations in Iraq.
- Precise Temperature Control:PLC-based automation systems and IoT-ready sensors maintain uniform temperatures between 200–1250°C, ensuring consistent billet quality and its metallurgical properties.
- Flexible Capacity Range: Capacity options available from 1 to 120TPH, catering to the small and large-scale steel mills, forging, and rolling for the Iraqi metal processing sector.
- Multi-Fuel Compatibility: It is compatible with furnace oil, natural gas, LPG, and various dual-fuel combinations, thus enabling Iraqi operators to choose the most economically viable and accessible fuel.
- Reduced Scale Formation : Optimised burner design and controlled heating minimise oxide scale on the billet surfaces to reduce downstream processing time and material waste, improving the final product yield.

Energy
Inefficiency
Significant energy inefficiencies are driving excessive fuel consumption to maintain production temperatures. Without heat-recovery systems, 10–50% of valuable thermal energy is lost through exhaust gases.
Uneven Temperature Control
Poor control of gas pressure and burner performance makes it difficult to maintain uniform billet temperatures across the heating chamber. This results in inconsistent heating leading to significant material waste.
Limited Production Flexibility
New facilities like the Basra mill demand furnaces that can rapidly scale production to meet fluctuating needs for industrial steel products. Inability to adapt forces manufacturers to operate below capacity or reject orders for non-standard billet sizes.
Maintenance
Complexity
Frequent manual maintenance and adjustments are required to maintain operational stability. Rapid deterioration of subcomponents under constant thermal stress causes unexpected shutdowns and downtimes.
Challenges faced by Steel Manufacturers in Iraq
How Trymax's Advanced Billet Reheating Furnaces Solve These Critical Challenges?
Advanced Recuperators for Energy Efficiency
High performance industrial recuperators in our furnaces capture waste heat from exhaust gases and redirect it to preheat incoming combustion air significantly increasing furnace efficiency.
PLC Based Precision Temperature Control Systems
Advanced PLC automation with IoT-ready sensors ensures uniform furnace temperature through continuous monitoring and adjustment. It suppresses gas-pressure fluctuations and maintains stable heating curves.
Flexible Multi-Furnace Architecture
Multiple furnace configurations are available to match different production profiles. This flexibility enables facilities like the Basra mill to choose a setup that aligns precisely with their production rhythm and billet dimensions.
Real Time Diagnostics and Predictive Maintenance
Advanced diagnostics with real time monitoring and automated maintenance alerts identifies potential issues before they cause shutdowns, minimising production interruptions and protecting supply reliability.

Types of Billet Reheating Furnaces for Iran Market
This type of furnace features mechanical pushers that continuously advance billets through preheating, heating and soaking zones. These are engineered to minimise billet deformation and support continuous operation, reducing downtime.
With specialised lifting beams, walking beam furnaces gently transport billets forward step by step through several heating zones. This leads to uniform heating without surface marking ensuring consistent metallurgical billet quality.
In this furnace, the burners are positioned strategically above and below the billets for uniform heating. Dual firing approach accelerates heating cycles, reduces fuel consumption and minimises oxidation losses.
Our Billet Reheating Furnace Process Workflow
01
Loading Billets
The steel billets are situated at the furnace entrance, positioned accurately for the heating cycle.
02
Preheating Zone
As the billet moves forward, the exhaust heat raises their temperature gradually and therefore paves the route for higher temperatures with minimum thermal shock and greater energy efficiency.
03
Heating Zone
In this zone, strong burners or induction systems increase the temperature of the billet up to rolling or forging levels, generally above 1,100°C
04
Soaking Zone
The area where the billets rest to let the heat reach the core uniformly is for consistent internal integrity and quality.
05
Temperature Monitoring
Advanced sensors and automatic controls maintain the set temperatures during the process without overheating or hot spots.
06
Cooling Billets
When the temperature required in the billets is attained, they leave the furnace and head straight for rolling, forging, or further shaping at red heat.
