Furnace approach
Opening size, sill height, access direction and required reach define the machine-to-furnace interface.
Furnace Charging & Hot Material Transfer
Move hot workpieces between the furnace and the next process position along a defined or variable route.
The route begins at the furnace interface—not at a generic machine type.
Furnace opening, charging depth, support points and the path to the next process position determine which charging architecture is practical.
Hot-material route
Origin, destination, travel distance, turning space and floor or rail conditions define the movement path.
Equipment architecture
Rail-bound, purpose-built mobile and forklift-based machines answer different route and platform conditions.
Engineering focus
Three architectures serve three different operating conditions.
A rail-bound machine suits a defined route and repeatable alignment. A purpose-built mobile machine serves variable positions. A forklift-based solution depends on an engineered platform, attachment and load-center responsibility.
Intended outcomeA charging and transfer solution matched to the furnace, the route and the agreed load-handling responsibility.
