GREENBAFx® The Next Generation Bell Annealing Furnace

The demands of the future are challenging all of us to design processes that are more sustainable, even as they remain competitive. With this challenge shaping our perspective, we have invested several years of intensive work in the development of the next generation of bell annealer furnaces. During development, an emphasis was placed on maximizing energy efficiency, eliminating emissions and simplifying operational processes.

This next generation of bell annealers, the GREENBAFx®, line of furnaces, features innovative systems for both inserting thermal energy into the process and recycling the energy discharged during cooling back into the process.

• Extremley high energy savings up to 30 %
• Innovative direct electric heating system inside the workbase
• Emission-free process

Saving Energy and Eliminating Emmissions

To save energy and reduce emissions, the EBNER GREENBAFx® design is provided with the following features:

• Emission-free process, no CO2 or NOx emitted by the facility
• Energy savings of up to 30 % provided by the exchange of heat between charge stacks
• “Passive” process bell replaces heating bell, cooling bell and inner cover
• Fewer crane movement cycles required
• Independent heating system at each workbase
• Distance between workbases can be reduced
• Integrated electric heating and heat exchange systems can be retrofitted

Why choose GREENBAFx®?

The next generation of bell annealing furnaces impresses with numerous advantages for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient production:

• High energy efficiency
• Emission-free process
• Reduced amount of required equipment
• Extended service life of major components
• Elimination of waiting times
• Reduced crane cycles
• Optional cooling variants

• Optional hybrid heating system (gas/electric)
• Retrofits

GREENBAFx -Driving Green Technologies  

The development of our GREENBAFx® facilities was driven by our customers’ desire for equipment that offered a balance between market competitiveness, regulatory compliance and energy efficiency. We sought to provide a highly competitive product that would enable them to achieve their goals more rapidly, reinforcing our position as a leader in sustainable thermal processes through technological innovation.

The furnace was designed to meet stringent environmental regulations, including those related to “green deals”, climate protection packages and legislation designed to reduce air pollution. By using less energy, the furnace will conserve natural resources and reduce both energy consumption and the need for emission certificates – which will lead to significant cost savings.

In short, the development of GREENBAFx® product line was motivated by the desire to provide a competitive, environmentally friendly and energy-efficient solution that would benefit both our customers and the planet.
