Solution scoped to material specs
Furnace chamber length and process curve are scoped to your material grade, strip width and thickness, coil weight, annealing temperature, solution temperature, soak time and cooling-rate requirements.
Continuous Heat-Treatment Line Series
The annealing & solution-treatment line is built for continuous heat treatment of metal strip and coil, covering continuous annealing, solution treatment, bright annealing and stress relief of stainless steel strip, alloy strip, non-ferrous metal strip and coil. The equipment is custom-engineered to your material grade, strip width and thickness, coil weight, line speed, cooling method and plant layout.
Furnace chamber length and process curve are scoped to your material grade, strip width and thickness, coil weight, annealing temperature, solution temperature, soak time and cooling-rate requirements.
Overall line configuration is scoped to your line cycle time, uncoiling and recoiling arrangement, entry and exit speeds, tension control and available floor space.
Multi-zone temperature control, stable conveying, optimized thermal cycling and cooling-section design create room to improve annealing/solution consistency and surface condition, with actual results confirmed against the material and operating conditions.
Entry accumulator, exit accumulator, strip guiding, tension control and interlock systems can be configured to smooth continuous-production flow, subject to the final project configuration.
Energy efficiency can be assessed through furnace insulation, heating zoning, waste-heat recovery, the thermal-cycling system and the continuous-running regime.
The above are common configuration ranges. The exact specification depends on the material grade, strip width and thickness, coil weight, annealing or solution-treatment temperature, line speed, cooling method, site layout and project acceptance requirements, and is ultimately governed by the technical proposal agreed by both parties.

| Requirements on tension, strip guiding, cooling and uncoiling/recoiling integration | Suited to softening annealing, bright annealing and stress relief | Suited to continuous annealing, tempering and quench heating of small parts |
| Suited to continuous heat-treatment lines for metal strip | Key items to confirm: wire diameter, speed, atmosphere and pay-off/take-up method | Key items to confirm: loading method, charge weight and load/unload integration |
An annealing and solution-treatment line suits stainless steel strip, non-ferrous metal strip, alloy strip and other coil/strip materials that require continuous annealing or solution treatment. Strip width, thickness, coil weight, material grade, surface-quality requirements and tension-control needs all influence furnace length, the temperature zones, the cooling section and the overall line layout.
Common processes include continuous annealing, solution treatment, stress relief and continuous heat treatment; bright annealing or special-atmosphere processes require project-specific evaluation. Solution-treatment temperature, soak time, cooling rate and tension control should be confirmed against the material grade and the relevant product standards.

An annealing and solution-treatment line is well suited to stainless steel strip, non-ferrous metal strip, alloy strip and other coil/strip materials that require continuous heat treatment. Whether a single line can cover a given material depends on the grade, strip width and thickness, coil weight, surface-quality requirements and the annealing or solution-treatment temperature curve, all of which should be assessed together.
A continuous annealing line typically integrates uncoiling, cleaning, heating, cooling, tension control, edge guiding and recoiling, which makes it suited to steady, high-volume production. A standalone annealing furnace is better matched to discrete charging or to operations where batch sizes are not fixed. The right choice depends on throughput, material form and the on-site process flow.
Line speed is set by combining material thickness, target temperature, effective furnace length, soak time, cooling rate, tension control and the capacity of the upstream and downstream stages. Speed is not a standalone parameter; it has to be calculated together with the number of temperature zones, the cooling section and the overall line automation.
Different material grades call for different solution-treatment temperatures, soak times and cooling requirements, so this cannot be judged from the equipment maximum temperature alone. The design should start from the material process requirements and then be finalized in conjunction with strip thickness, line speed, cooling method and furnace temperature uniformity.
Yes. Potential areas to evaluate include furnace-body insulation, the heating system, hot-air circulation, the cooling section, flue-gas waste-heat recovery, the drive system and the control logic. The actual savings must be calculated case by case against the condition of the existing equipment, the material specifications, the operating regime, the line load and the scope of the retrofit.
Price is driven mainly by the material grade, strip width and thickness, maximum coil weight, line speed, annealing or solution-treatment temperature, furnace chamber length, number of temperature zones, cooling method, tension and edge-guiding control, accumulator (looper) configuration, control system and the boundary of installation and commissioning. The more complete the parameters, the closer the quotation reflects the real project.
Temperature uniformity has to be confirmed against the effective heating zone, the temperature-zone layout, strip speed, the heat-circulation design, the charging condition, the temperature-measurement method and the project acceptance requirements. The design can be optimized through zoned temperature control, refractory lining insulation, heat circulation and a data-recording system, but the specific target values should be defined clearly in the technical proposal.
We recommend preparing the material grade, strip width and thickness, maximum coil weight, target throughput, annealing or solution-treatment temperature, line speed, cooling method, surface-quality requirements, tension control, the uncoiling/recoiling arrangement and the on-site layout. You can start the conversation even if the information is incomplete; our engineers will identify what still needs to be supplied.
