BLUESMELT Pilot furnaces
Whether new processes, other raw materials or innovative components: in many cases you want to evaluate and test them before industrial use. This is usually difficult to achieve during operation, either because production must not be interrupted, because assured qualities must be maintained or because the dimensions would be too large.
Bluemetals offers the optimal solution here with the
BLUESMELT pilot and test furnaces. The BLUESMELT concept is based on modular
systems, optimally adapted to the requirements, easy handling and high
efficiency. In this way, an extremely high level of cost-effectiveness is
achieved for every task.
Whether tabletop systems or a scaling factor of 10, whether
direct current or alternating current, whether for short test periods or for
long-term use even during operation, we will put together your test furnace for
you. We discuss the scope of delivery - sometimes an engineering package is
sufficient, sometimes a turnkey delivery is required.
BLUESMELT pilot and test furnaces can also be implemented in
a very short time. This is what all the experience and flexibility of
Bluemetals stands for.
The following slides show possible solutions.

For Thyssen Krupp
Steel Engineering in Duisburg and BFI Düsseldorf, a turnkey test plant is
currently being built at the Duisburg site. The company Grenzebach BSH GmbH,
Bad Hersfeld, Germany, is the general contractor for this large project, and
Bluemetals is supporting Grenzebach BSH in the design and implementation.
Bluemetals offers also the reconstruction of existing complete furnaces or parts of former furnaces. The existing components will be integrated in the BLUESMELT components to realize a new pilot furnace in short time in a economic manner.
Together with a
partner company, solutions as induction furnaces can also be presented.
We are happy to
tailor the optimal design of such BLUESMELT pilot or test furnaces to your
processes and budget. We are sure that for the most new processes, the investment
in the construction and operation of such a small furnace will pay off and will
pay for itself by achieving a perfect running industrial process later and to reach stable operation
more quickly. Especially the realization of an own BLUESMELT pilot or test furnace will be cheaper than several external test campaigns.
