One of the most important principles of the STF forehearth is the extremely flexible application of different technologies. For example, four different cooling technologies can be utilized to achieve the optimal solution for each individual zone.

On some systems all four cooling systems are applied to different areas. STF-Forehearths are built in all lengths and in channel widths from 16” to 54”. STF-forehearths are normally gas fired. These include the well-known and proven SORG® VMC combustion system. The shape of the superstructure conforms to the most important function of each zone. Therefore, the superstructure is different for the heating and cooling zones.

ADVANTAGES

• Greater cooling capacity. The consistent application of open radiation cooling leads to high cooling capacity.
• The following factors actively improve the thermal homogeneity through:
  • Higher cooling capacity ∙ Left right trimming (optional)
  • Stepping control for cooling systems
• Flexibility: The flexible concept for the STF series offers the optimal solution for each application. There are multiple cooling systems available as well as the possibility to expand the standard design through add-ons.
