A look at how problem solving led to lower furnace maintenance and better energy efficiency.

Furnace manufacturers are continually challenged to meet user demands for lower maintenance requirements and better energy efficiency. In the case of a sintering furnace, the cost benefits derived from meeting these demands can help powder-metallurgy companies maintain a competitive edge. User feedback played a major role in tackling sintering-furnace performance issues in the areas of control system and operator interfaces, improved flame supervision systems and operating energy costs.
