This temperature drop compared to the head can lead to inconsistent material properties and reduced product quality. 💡 How Encopanels make a difference: Encopanels are engineered to optimize thermal consistency across the entire transfer bar. Here’s how: 🔁 Reradiates heat back to the steel strip, helping the tail maintain critical temperatures—typically between 900–1000°C. 🌡️ Encopanels create a thermal tunnel, improving the thermography of the transfer bar head-to-tail. 📉 Ensures a consistent temperature by minimizing the temperature fluctuations. ✅ Benefits: - Consistent material properties → Higher product quality - Consistent high temperature → surface quality - Improved product yield due to less scrap → cost savings 📲 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gP6UxyXs #Encopanels #HotStripMills #SurfaceQuality #ProcessOptimization
