A billet induction heating system installed before rolling must match both the thermal requirement and the movement of material through the mill.

Whether described as a billet induction heater or a billet temperature boosting system, its configuration depends on the actual condition of the incoming billet.

Define the Billet

Provide the section shape, dimensions, length and steel grades. Identify whether the project handles square billets, rectangular sections or other products.

Different section geometries should be evaluated individually rather than treated as interchangeable.

Describe Entry Temperature Variation

The normal entry temperature is important, but the operating range is equally useful. Explain whether temperatures vary between billets, along their length or after production interruptions.

A system designed around one nominal temperature may not represent the full operating task.

Set the Outlet Requirement

State the required temperature and how it will be assessed. Where temperature uniformity matters, define the relevant locations and acceptance conditions.

Surface measurements and through-section temperature requirements should be clearly distinguished.

Match the Rolling Schedule

Include throughput, billet spacing, transport speed and the operating pattern of the rolling line. Explain what happens during mill stops and restarts.

These conditions affect the integration of heating, transport, measurement and interlocks.

For a preliminary Yuantuo proposal, send the billet dimensions, steel grades, entry temperature range, outlet requirements and production schedule, together with the available line layout.
