Danieli Walking Beam Furnace in Operation
05/14/2025 - The Stahlwerk Annahütte Max Aicher plant in Ainring-Hammerau, Germany, has granted final acceptance to its new Danieli walking beam furnace.
Danieli said the new 80 tph reheating furnace delivers heated billets with precise temperature uniformity. It features patented hydrogen-ready Danieli HydroMab burners, complete furnace power distribution and automation systems, intuitive human-machine interfaces and process controls with mathematical models for optimization of the reheating process.
“With the commissioning of our new furnace we reached another milestone in increasing the efficiency and sustainability of our production of high-quality special steel bars,” said Ingo Glane, technical director of Stahlwerk Annahütte.
The plant’s energy consumption and CO2 emissions have been reduced, and NOx emissions are at the lowest possible levels, the company said.
Supplied by Danieli Centro Combustion, the installation was completed with upstream and downstream material handling systems, hydraulic systems and advanced combustion technologies.
