Skid for Walking Beam Reheating Furnaces
General Description
A skid is a heat-resistant structural component used in reheating furnaces to support and elevate heavy steel materials such as slabs and blooms, ensuring even heat distribution, reducing direct contact with the furnace floor, and enhancing both thermal efficiency and equipment durability.
Key Features
Casting Technology:
Manufactured using sand casting processes to ensure high density, uniform microstructure, and precise dimensional accuracy.
High Load Support:
Provides stable support for heavy steel materials, effectively distributing high loads without deformation even under extreme temperatures — designed specifically for such demanding conditions.
Customizable Design:
Shape, wall thickness, and material can be tailored according to customer specifications.
Benefits & Performance
High Load Endurance
Supports and distributes the weight of heavy steel products without deformation, even under extreme temperatures—designed specifically for high-stress environments.
Improved Heat Efficiency
Maintains a gap between steel and furnace floor to enhance airflow and ensure uniform heating, reducing energy consumption.
Extended Service Life
Made from heat- and oxidation-resistant alloys to withstand repeated thermal cycling, minimizing wear and maintenance frequency.
Structural Protection
Acts as a thermal and mechanical buffer, protecting core furnace components from direct stress and damage.
Function
A skid is a structural component used inside reheating furnaces to stably support heavy materials such as slabs or blooms under high-temperature conditions. It plays a critical role by evenly distributing loads and maintaining a slight gap between the steel and the furnace floor, thereby minimizing direct contact and enhancing heating efficiency.
Additionally, skids are made from materials with excellent heat and oxidation resistance to withstand repeated exposure to high temperatures and thermal shocks. This helps protect key components within the furnace and contributes to extending the overall service life of the equipment.
