Project Description:

At a copper tube factory an electrical furnace is used during the annealing process. The copper pipes are rolled in a coil shape and placed in a carriage which is placed on a roll conveyor that passes through the furnace. A gas, N2H2 (98% N2 and 2% H2) , is introduced to eliminate oxidation, i.e. to prevent the tube’s surface from oxidizing in the atmosphere and losing it’s brightness. Globex Group’s scope of work was to deliver a control panel and pulpit designed to regulate all process parameters for a copper tube annealing furnace. The control regulated Temperature, Pressure, 02 content, N2H2 content, dewpoint etc.

The control also regulated all mechanical function including opening / closing of doors and speed control. Globex modernized and replaced measuring and regulating devices used on the furnace equipment. Tube annealing control is performed via SCADA application and operating panels on charging and discharging pulpits.
