Product Highlights: Unmatched Versatility and Performance


2.1 Material Scope: Catering to a Wide Spectrum of Metals



The CBAL is designed to handle an impressive array of metallic materials, making it a versatile choice for various manufacturing needs:


  • A.Stainless Steel: The line excels in processing austenitic, ferritic, and martensitic grades of stainless steel. It ensures a bright surface finish and optimal mechanical properties, such as corrosion resistance and tensile strength, which are crucial for applications in the food industry, medical equipment, and architectural components.

  • B.Carbon and Alloy Steels: Including spring steel grades like 65Mn and 55Si2Mn, the CBAL enables precise control over hardness, ductility, and stress relief. This is essential for producing high-quality springs, gears, and other mechanical components that require specific mechanical properties.

  • C.Copper Strips: Suitable for pure copper and copper alloys, the line enhances the conductivity and formability of copper strips without causing discoloration. This makes it ideal for the production of electrical wiring, connectors, and heat exchangers.


2.2 Continuous Process Advantages: Efficiency Redefined


The continuous nature of the CBAL offers several key advantages over traditional batch annealing systems:


  • High Throughput: With the capability to process strips at speeds of up to [X] meters per minute, the line is designed for high-volume production. Adjustable tension control ensures that both thin strips (0.1mm) and medium-thick strips (3mm) can be processed with precision and consistency.

  • Atmosphere Control: The line utilizes advanced protective gas systems, including nitrogen, hydrogen, and argon, to maintain ultra-low oxygen levels within the annealing furnace. This ensures a bright surface finish and eliminates the formation of scale, reducing the need for post-annealing surface treatment and saving both time and costs.

  • Energy Efficiency: Equipped with regenerative heating technology and intelligent temperature profiling, the CBAL reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared to traditional systems. This not only lowers operational costs for manufacturers but also contributes to a more sustainable manufacturing process.


Technical Innovations: Cutting-Edge Engineering


3.1 Precision Temperature Control: Ensuring Uniformity
The heart of the CBAL is its multi-zone furnace, equipped with PID-controlled heating elements. This advanced system achieves temperature uniformity within ±5°C across the width of the strip, a critical factor in maintaining consistent mechanical properties throughout the material. For materials like spring steel and high-strength alloys, where precise temperature control is essential to achieve the desired hardness and ductility, this feature sets the CBAL apart from competitors.

The PID control system continuously monitors and adjusts the temperature in each zone, ensuring that the strip is annealed at the optimal temperature for its specific material and thickness. This level of precision minimizes the risk of over-annealing or under-annealing, resulting in high-quality finished products every time.


3.2 Integrated Quality Monitoring: Real-Time Process Optimization
To ensure the highest level of product quality, the CBAL is equipped with on-line sensors that continuously measure strip thickness, surface roughness, and mechanical properties such as yield strength and elongation. This real-time data is fed into the line’s control system, allowing for immediate adjustments to the annealing process if any deviations are detected.
The integrated quality monitoring system not only improves the consistency of the finished product but also reduces waste by identifying and addressing issues early in the production process. This proactive approach to quality control helps manufacturers meet strict industry standards and customer expectations.
