"PhoenixTM LLC has recently finished commissioning an evaporative ¡®rotating¡¯ hot box system at Service Center Metals, Prince George, VA. SCM cast aluminum logs for their extrusion plant and after casting, the logs are heat treated (homogenized) in a walking beam furnace which makes this a fully continuous production process.
The PhoenixTM system is attached to the log continually measuring product temperatures at various depths and distances along the product and is the only realistic way to monitor product temperatures through a walking beam furnace. The data are stored on the thermally protected data logger, and at the same time transmitted out of the furnace via RF so analysis is possible in real time. SCM will be using data from these trials for mathematical modelling and process confirmation. To keep the logger at a safe working temperature within the hot box, evaporative technology was selected over regular heat sink design, given the long processing time, the restriction of keeping the system within the product footprint, and the fact that the system rotates with the log.
