Long-term collaboration
At promeos®, we continually innovate to enhance industrial processes, and our long-term collaboration with WE-EF Leuchten is a testament to our commitment to efficiency and sustainability.
Seamless Integration and Superior Performance
WE-EF Leuchten, a leading manufacturer of exterior lighting technology with its own aluminum foundry, faced challenges with traditional heating methods for their aluminum transport ladles. These methods were not only time-consuming and inhomogeneous, but also caused increased wear of the refractory materials, resulting in reduced lifetime and higher operating costs.
The promeos® Solution
More than 16 years ago, in 2008, we designed and delivered one of our first ladle heating systems, designed for diameters of 600-800 mm. This innovative setup preheats the ladles to a surface temperature of approximately 800 °C using a combination of pure hot gas and radiant heat. The result? A homogeneous and efficient heat distribution that significantly reduces heating times and energy consumption.
Key Benefits:
- Reduced Heating Times: 300 kg aluminum ladle reaches 800 °C in about one hour.
- Energy Efficiency: Gas heating is three times cheaper than electricity.
- Enhanced Durability: Uniform heat distribution extends refractory material lifespan.
- Environmental Impact: Minimizes CO2 and NOx emissions.
- Long-Term Reliability: Operating efficiently since 2008.
Conclusion
Our long-term partnership with WE-EF Leuchten shows that promeos® technology makes industrial processes more efficient, more cost-effective and more environmentally friendly. And that we supply systems that continue to work without problems even after > 15 years. We design heat and are proud to have been able to support WE-EF on their path to top performance and sustainability for many years.
Join us in embracing innovative solutions for a better future.
