delivered to the burners by using the high temperature flue gas-heat content and utilises the flue gas heat remaining after the recuperation for further process applications such as bath heating. Due to the interaction between the cutting-edge burner technology and the recovery of the remaining heat of the flue gas and the dragged-out energy, energy consumption reduction is claimed to be up to 40 per cent. CPA’s latest innovation is Linnox, a wet drawing machine for drawing high-strength and high quality demanding steel wires, beginning from a final diameter of 0.06mm.

and copper coating, as well as payoff and take-up systems and wet drawing machines. Representing a new heat treatment technology for high carbon steel wire production, AEOX pure recirculation furnaces are characterised by improved heat transfer. The furnace pressure is not generated by the burners, but by a forced air circulation of the hot furnace gases created by a special blower. In this way air velocities of up to 30m/s are reached on the wire surface.
