CER annealing furnace

The sound of gas-fired burners heating the furnace to 700°C.
When remelting is completed, an ingot is loaded in a furnace to be heated to 700°C and profile controlled so that it is prepared for further processing (forging or rolling).

Metal Ravne is the legal successor to Železarna Ravne. The company's range includes a steel plant programme, which starts the production of all their rolled and forged products. Due to technological modernisation over recent years, the company has all the most important machinery for the production of high-quality steel, including a 45t UHP electric arc furnace, a vacuum ladle furnace and a state-of-the-art ‘teeming pit’ for high-class conventional ingots. Their range of products includes ingots, billets with rounded edges and wide flats, with round, flat and square sections, forged bars, machined forgings, discs, bushes, etc.
