New Paths of Innovation

Striving for perfected functionality and quality is one of the most important elements of EBNER's lasting success and a major factor in ensuring the higher productivity and more economical operation of EBNER's heat treatment facilities.

The decision to introduce new ideas and EBNER's well-known quality to the market of continuous galvanizing and annealing lines was contingent upon extensive analysis of the weaknesses of existing facilities. Discussions with many operators in Europe and the US resulted in a number of subjects which EBNER then investigated in-depth.

One major point was the burner/radiant tube system, especially the service life of the new double-P-type radiant tubes. Analysis of the burner/radiant tube system soon demonstrated that the burner has to be designed to suit the radiant tube and that appropriate modifications to the radiant tube can increase service life.
