Industrial Furnaces Service

Systematic and timely repairs of industrial furnaces ensure business stability. They increase the service life of commercial equipment and the technical and economic indicators of furnace units. The sustainability of the production process depends on the quality of the work. Therefore, the issue of replacement and restoration of worn components and elements is always relevant. The Rocky Mountain company provides current and emergency repair servicing for industrial furnace equipment. We accept calls 24 hours a day and respond to them during the day. Our specialists are close to you and are ready to quickly come to your aid in difficult situations.

Types of repairs for commercial furnaces

Repair works are divided into two categories based on their volume: current and capital. These repairs are crucial to ensuring the uninterrupted operation of the furnace during its working cycle. Current repairs can be further classified as hot or cold, with the cold category subdivided into small, medium, and large repairs. Hot repairs, which require the least amount of work, are performed on large industrial furnaces while they are still hot. During these repairs, the fuel supply remains on; only the supply and temperature of the fuel in the working chamber are reduced. During a hot repair, individual damaged elements are replaced, and small areas of enclosures such as vaults, walls, and other elements are restored. On the other hand, a cold repair process involves a larger volume of work. It is carried out with the fuel supply turned off, and the furnace lining cooled. This process begins when the fuel supply is stopped and ends when the furnace is reheated. Once the operating temperature is reached, the quality of the equipment is checked.

Periodicity of repairs

The frequency of hot repairs is affected by the durability of the furnace’s components and the materials used in its construction and design. The interval between repair work can range from several days to several weeks or even months. For instance, hot blast furnace repairs are typically conducted twice a year. The duration of the repair work varies as well: it can last from several hours to a week or even a month. The frequency of routine cold repairs varies, ranging from every 30 days for converters to several years for heating and firing furnaces. Only companies with the appropriate licenses are permitted to conduct these repairs, and they employ experienced specialists to ensure high-quality work.

Overhaul

This type of repair of commercial furnaces is carried out when further operation becomes impractical due to the deterioration of technical and economic indicators. Before the start of repair work, the furnace, gas pipelines, air ducts, dust collectors, and air heaters are all completely disconnected from the operating units. All capital interventions vary in complexity. They can range from minor works to a complete modernization of the furnace. During a major repair, the furnace is completely disassembled, with parts replaced and restored as necessary. The frequency of such reconstructions ranges from 2 to 10 years. The duration of these repairs is influenced by many factors. They can take at least a day but may last up to a month.
