13 Impellers for Pusher furnaces from a single source

Work­ing to­gether to achieve a com­mon goal: op­ti­miz­ing heat treat­ment for alu­minium rolling in­gots

Gautschi En­gi­neer­ing GmbH uses pusher fur­naces to heat and ho­mog­e­nize its alu­minium rolling in­gots. The fur­naces op­er­ate semi-con­tin­u­ously in a process that en­sures the end prod­ucts demon­strate the re­quired me­chan­i­cal and ther­mal prop­er­ties. While the alu­minium rolling in­gots are be­ing pushed through the fur­nace, the heat is trans­ferred from the fur­nace heat sources to the alu­minium. The im­pellers play a key role in this, en­sur­ing that the rolling in­gots are heated evenly and ef­fi­ciently so that the heat treat­ment process is able to work as it should.

We are proud to say that Gautschi En­gi­neer­ing GmbH re­lies on our im­pellers for this key stage of alu­minium pro­cess­ing.

Im­pellers from Scheuch COM­PO­NENTS play a ma­jor role in en­sur­ing that heat is dis­trib­uted evenly through the alu­minium in the pusher fur­naces: this is a process that is es­sen­tial for pre­vent­ing de­vi­a­tions in me­chan­i­cal prop­er­ties.

The qual­ity of pusher fur­naces as a whole has a sig­nif­i­cant im­pact on the ho­mo­gene­ity, me­chan­i­cal prop­er­ties, sur­face fin­ish and chem­i­cal pu­rity of the alu­minium that is pro­duced. Con­se­quently, us­ing high-qual­ity com­po­nents in these fur­naces is a must. Our com­po­nents – the im­pellers, which in­clude shafts and in­let com­po­nents – have been spe­cially de­signed to meet the needs of Gautschi En­gi­neer­ing GmbH. To achieve this, they are made of heat-re­sis­tant steel that al­lows them to with­stand ex­treme fur­nace tem­per­a­tures of up to 650 de­grees. High-qual­ity alu­minium rolling in­gots cre­ate high-qual­ity alu­minium prod­ucts, and these are then fre­quently used in de­mand­ing in­dus­tries such as avi­a­tion and the au­to­mo­tive sec­tor. Gautschi En­gi­neer­ing Gmb­H’s pusher fur­naces are de­signed to han­dle up to 30 rolling in­gots.

An es­sen­tial com­po­nent

Scheuch COMPONENTS impellers from a single source

As Scheuch pro­vides every­thing from a sin­gle source, rang­ing from sales and en­gi­neer­ing ser­vices to pro­duc­tion and af­ter sales, it has what it takes to meet cus­tomers’ in­di­vid­ual re­quire­ments with no fuss. Its holis­tic ap­proach en­sures that sys­tems and com­po­nents are in­te­grated seam­lessly into ex­ist­ing con­di­tions, and makes it pos­si­ble to pool ex­per­tise and han­dle pro­jects ef­fi­ciently. This was proven in the process of ful­fill­ing Gautschi En­gi­neer­ing Gmb­H’s or­der of 13 im­pellers with a di­am­e­ter of 1820 mm. Gautschi placed the or­der in May 2023 fol­low­ing Scheuch COM­PO­NENTS’ con­fir­ma­tion that it would be able to meet the dead­line of mid-Sep­tem­ber 2023 – a promise that it ul­ti­mately de­liv­ered on.

Gautschi ben­e­fited from the fol­low­ing ser­vices:

  • Consultation

  • Planning and design

  • Material procurement

  • Production: laser cutting, edging, welding, turning, milling and balancing

  • Quality control
