Cape Gate commissioned AIC the design, realization and installation of an Advanced Process Control Level 2 System at their Reheating Furnace in the rolling mill.
Cape Gate commissioned AIC the design, realization and installation of an Advanced Process Control Level 2 System at their Reheating Furnace in the rolling mill.
This system is able to perform the automatic control of billets thermal profile inside the pusher type furnace installed at Cape Gate Bar Mill rolling mill and it is a table-based model system.
AIC is going to install Level 2 table-based reheating furnace on an existing third-party supplied reheating furnace for optimizing Gas consumption and improving the quality of billets produced.
AIC system will perform following tasks:
- Heating and cooling ramps of the reheating furnace
- Temperature curves set-up managed by recipes
- Delay strategies
- Material tracking inside furnace
- Billets are flagged in tracking if too long and information sent to handling PLC.
- Feedback of the exit temperature of the material at rougher stand
- Feedback of the rougher stand(s) current absorption
