Hot Rolling Steel Ball Heating Furnace Process

With the rapid upgrading of intelligent and green manufacturing in the metallurgical and wear-resistant material industry, hot rolling technology has become the mainstream process for high-quality grinding steel ball production, replacing traditional casting and forging methods. As a professional manufacturer of induction heating equipment, Forever Electromechanical has independently developed the upgraded steel ball rolling induction heating furnace, optimizing the whole heating and rolling process to solve the pain points of high energy consumption, serious oxidation and unstable product quality of traditional heating equipment, bringing reliable and efficient heating solutions for global steel ball manufacturers.

This professional heating furnace is compatible with mainstream raw materials in the industry, including 45# steel, 60Mn, 65Mn, 40Cr and GCr15 alloy steel, and adapts to round steel billets with a diameter of 20mm to 120mm. The entire production process realizes full automatic intelligent operation, covering automatic feeding, constant-speed conveying, precise induction heating and seamless docking with the hot rolling mill. After strict pre-treatment and fixed-length cutting, the steel billets are stably transported to the heating furnace through the roller table system. After uniform heating, the red-hot billets directly enter the skew rolling mill for continuous rolling forming, realizing high-speed and standardized production of wear-resistant steel balls.

forging & rolling steel ball production line

In terms of structural design and operational stability, the furnace adopts a modular integrated structure, with high-temperature resistant and insulated induction coils, supporting quick disassembly and replacement and convenient daily maintenance. The whole production line can be operated by a single person, with intelligent functions such as one-key start, automatic fault alarm and production data traceability, which greatly reduces labor intensity and operation failure rate. The equipment can adapt to 24-hour continuous industrial operation, and can be customized according to customer’s hourly output of 0.2 tons to 16 tons, meeting the production needs of small-batch flexible processing and large-scale mass production.
