At promeos®, we believe true industrial progress starts with precision, safety, and reliability.
That’s why we partnered with Herborner Pumpentechnik GmbH & Co KG to implement a custom-engineered ladle preheating system — combining high-performance thermal control with intelligent automation and multilayered safety mechanisms.

Engineering Excellence in Practice

In heavy industry, every thermal process must be efficient, consistent, and above all — safe.
To meet these demands, this system was designed to integrate seamlessly into daily operations, while also enhancing control, uptime and worker safety.

  • Controlled Thermal Output
    The system delivers 42 kW of fully modulated heat.
    As a result, it enables fast, even preheating and significantly reduces turnaround time.
  • Flexible Automation
    Operators can select fixed target temperatures or define custom heating curves.
    This level of control ensures precise drying, sintering, and process adaptability.
  • Comprehensive Safety Layering
    The system includes redundant thermocouples, and an emergency stop function. Therefore, heating is only activated when the ladle and lid are safely aligned.
  • Modular, Service-Oriented Design
    It features a lifting mechanism, refractory-insulated heating lid, and filtered air supply.

Real-World Impact

By replacing outdated open-flame processes, the system reduces emissions and directly improves environmental safety. Custom heating curves ensure controlled drying and effectively prevent steam explosions in moist refractory linings – a key safety advantage in daily operations.

Why It Matters

Ultimately, innovation in foundry and metallurgical environments must be practical, measurable, and sustainable. This collaboration with Herborner Pumpentechnik proves that with the right partner and technology, it’s possible to raise safety standards, reduce emissions, and streamline thermal processes — all at once. Together, we’re building a safer, greener, and more intelligent industry — powered by Heatelligence®.

 

Let’s turn thermal challenges into competitive advantage.

If you’re looking to improve safety, reduce emissions, or modernize your heating processes —promeos® is ready to engineer and build the solution for you.
