Maintenance Tips

The Aluminum Furnace Group custom engineers aluminum or aluminium  heat treatment systems for coil, foil, rod, wire, billet, slab and ingot processing. These systems are used for annealing,  homogenizing or homogenising, preheat and reheat to roll. We offer advanced technology to reduce cycle times, conserve energy and improve cooling rates.  Our control and material handling systems are designed for each unique production environment.

  • Log/Billet Homogenizing
  • Coil/Foil Annealing
  • Solution Heat Treatment/Age Hardening
  • Reverb Melting and Holding

White Paper Vortex Jet Heating  SECO/WARWICK has secured thepatent rights for the vortex flow jet heating system for improved performance in aluminum process furnaces. Trials have shown that the new system maintains a more uniform coil surface temperature during the heat-up phase. This result enables a shorter annealing cycle without local overheating, preventing localized cracking of milling oil, and produces more uniform material properties.

White Paper Improved Methods of Log Cooling Log cooling after homogenization has begun to play a more important role than ever before. Production demands are requiring both faster and more uniform cooling of the logs. SECO/WARWICK has developed an improved method to increase both the cooling rate and temperature uniformity throughout the entire load.  To read the entire paper,  follow this link to our White Paper in .pdf format.
White Paper SECO/WARWICK is Awarded Patent for Adjustable Ratio Control System &Method used in the design of Aluminum Process Heat Treating Equipment.  Download our White Paper which discusses in greater detail how Adjustable Ratio Control can improve furnace performance while processing uneven loads.
