Direct-Fired Paste Heaters
Direct-Fired Paste Heaters Designed for Electrode Paste Preheating
Stelter & Brinck direct-fired paste heaters are designed to preheat electrode paste used in Submerged Arc Furnace (SAF) applications. These gas-fired systems provide controlled, consistent heating based on the specified process requirements.
Paste heating can help support consistent electrode preparation, reduce the potential for voids and breaks, and support efficient paste usage when operated within specified process conditions.
