Tunnel Furnace Market Analysis

Tunnel Furnace Market Type Segment Analysis

According to Cognitive Market Research, flame roller tunnel furnace held the major market share over the forecast period. The flame roller tunnel furnaces use a flame as their heat source. Electricity costs for rolling are reduced by up to 8%. Tunnel furnaces cost 15-30% less to run than induction heaters, depending on the fuel used. The Tunnel furnace costs one-third as much as an induction heater.

Flameproof roller tunnel furnace is the fastest-growing category over the forecast period. In several industries, including manufacturing, metallurgy, and ceramics, the tunnel furnace is essential. These specialised furnaces offer a regulated setting for material processing, heating, and cooling. An essential part of tunnel furnaces are the heating elements. They provide the required temperature for material processing by converting electrical or thermal energy into heat. Gas burners, infrared heating panels, and electric resistance wires are examples of frequently used heating elements. The needed temperature range, energy efficiency, and the kind of material being treated are some of the variables that influence the choice of heating element.

Pyrometric cones to gauge the impact of firing duration and temperature on the kiln's output. Ceramics provide advantages such as homogeneous quick burning of dense loads, poor tolerance for particle contamination, and carefully controlled organic elimination.

Powder material is the fastest-growing category over the forecast period. The surface temperature of the billet exiting the caster is around 800-900°C, whereas the core temperature is around 1100-1300°C. This becomes an issue in factories that use hot charging of billets in the rolling mill. During their journey from the caster to the rolling mill, the billets lose around 50-100°C of surface temperature and 100-200°C of core temperature.
