Heat treatment

Maximized fuel efficiency, throughput and quality

Our engineers have an in-depth understanding of heat treatment furnace operation, including code compliance, heat transfer rate and uniformity. They understand which critical process drivers must be accounted for when striving to maximize fuel efficiency, throughput and quality, while minimizing emissions.  

In heat treatment, Fives provides a wide range of solutions—for both continuous and batch-fired furnaces, and direct and indirect fired. This includes furnaces for carburizing, aging, hardening, drawing, and tempering operations. 

Iron ore pelletizing

Custom designs to meet industry’s growth

Fives develops fuel-efficient products for every application in the iron ore market. We strive to meet the iron ore pelletizing industry’s demand for flexibility, emissions reduction and increased production

We have the low-emissions, high-efficiency burner product to optimize any operation, whether a straight grate or a grate kiln furnace. Our proactive approach extends to our advanced test facility, which analyzes our specialized burner and control solutions. 

Ferrous nickel

Energy-efficient, low-NOx solutions for increased production

Fives is a trusted name in the minerals industry, known for energy-efficient and flexible combustion solutions. We have a range of products aimed at the specific properties of ferrous nickel, and extensive experience and references in the rotary kiln process.
