Precision Heating for Aluminum Extrusion Lines
Our aluminum billet heating furnace is engineered specifically for aluminum extrusion billet preheating, delivering uniform heat distribution across multi-zone temperature control zones. Using direct-fired spray heating technology, this furnace uniformly heats aluminum logs with LPG or natural gas, achieving ±5°C temperature control accuracy across all heating zones. The PLC-controlled system enables one-key automatic shearing at the furnace exit, significantly reducing operator workload while ensuring consistent billet temperature for extrusion.
Uniform heating of aluminum logs with a direct-fired spray heating system, eliminating cold spots and ensuring consistent billet temperature throughout.
Each independent heating zone is equipped with real-time temperature sensors for ±5°C accuracy — critical for aluminum extrusion billet quality.
Fully PLC-controlled billet heater with one-key automatic shearing at furnace exit, reducing operator workload and improving production efficiency.
Low fuel consumption architecture minimizes operating costs — up to 15–20% energy saving compared to conventional billet heating equipment.
Flexible customization of aluminum rod heating furnace size, specifications, and automation levels to match your existing extrusion line.

Q1: What is the typical heating temperature range for aluminum billets before extrusion?
A: Our aluminum billet heating furnace typically heats aluminum billets to 400–520°C (752–968°F) prior to extrusion, depending on the specific aluminum alloy and profile requirements. The multi-zone temperature control system ensures precise thermal management within ±5°C accuracy.
Q2: What fuel options are available for your billet heating furnace?
A: Our direct-fired spray heating furnace primarily runs on LPG at 5–8 kPa, with natural gas-fired options also available. Pressure is adjustable via a pressure reducing valve, and fuel is mixed with combustion air through a dedicated burner mixer.
Q3: Can you customize the aluminum billet heating furnace size for my extrusion line?
A: Yes — we offer flexible OEM/ODM services for all our aluminum billet heating equipment. The size, specifications, billet diameter range, and automation level can be customized to match your specific extrusion line requirements.
Q4: How does the PLC automatic shearing system work?
A: Our PLC-controlled billet heater features one-key automatic shearing at the furnace exit. Once the billet reaches the preset temperature, the system automatically triggers the hot shear to cut the billet to the required length, with minimal shear surface deformation.
Q5: What is the standard delivery time for an aluminum billet heating furnace?
A: Standard delivery time is 45–60 days for a heating furnace (30 days for small-sized machines, 3–6 months for a complete extrusion line). Shipping is available by land or ocean.
Q6: Is your aluminum billet heating furnace energy efficient?
A: Yes — our furnace is designed with low fuel consumption architecture, achieving significant energy savings compared to conventional billet heating equipment. The combination of direct-fired spray heating and multi-zone temperature control optimizes fuel usage while maintaining heating quality.
