 time that contributes to more sustainable production.”
“Our next generation of furnaces has a very stable design and are simple to maintain,” says Pär Mickos, AP&T’s product manager, furnace systems. “For example, the heating elements can be replaced much more quickly now, which means shorter downtime that can free up many hours of valuable production time. The furnaces also are more energy efficient— they require lower installed output and have smaller heat losses.”
Other noteworthy features: Should the furnace suffer operational inter- ruptions, the user need only shut off one of the layers while the other layers continue their use; and each chamber is equipped with dew-point control, ensuring every sheet meets customer specifications.

Release mechanism for straightener- feeders, designed to control and opti- mize air-cylinder pressure while pro- cessing sheet. By optimizing pressure based on sheet thickness, the mecha- nism promises to reduce power con- sumption by as much as 50 percent and reduce CO2 emissions, say company officials.
