From Design to Testing: How Nicro Builds Complete Bell Furnace Systems

With over thirty years of experience in metal alloy processing and the development of industrial ventilation and extraction systems, Nicro is the ideal partner for any technical and design needs. Our expertise allows us to provide tailor-made solutions that optimize performance and ensure the safety of the systems.

A concrete example of our customization capabilities is the recent development of two complete systems for Herdicheroff bell furnaces. This project involved a precise and meticulous process, from the initial inspection to design, installation, and final testing.

Phase 1: Site Inspection and Reverse Engineering

The first step in creating customized industrial systems is an on-site inspection at the client’s facility. This phase serves as the starting point for understanding specific requirements and the characteristics of the existing system. For the Herdicheroff bell furnace project, our technical and commercial team traveled directly to the site in Sweden to conduct a comprehensive reverse engineering analysis.

During the inspection, in-depth technical surveys were carried out, carefully analyzing every component of the existing system.

This phase is crucial for gathering all necessary information and providing truly customized consulting. Every industrial system has unique characteristics, and a thorough analysis allows us to propose innovative solutions that perfectly meet the client’s needs. Our team worked closely with the client to define specific requirements, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the operational context and areas for improvement.

We assessed not only the size and structural features of the furnace but also identified key areas for optimization.

Phase 2: Proposal and Offer

Once the site inspection is completed and all necessary information has been gathered, the next step is to prepare a detailed proposal that not only meets the client’s immediate needs but also anticipates potential improvements to the system. In this phase, Nicro is committed to providing innovative and customized solutions, taking into account every detail that emerged during the inspection.

In the specific case of Herdicheroff bell furnaces, our technical team has developed several proposals—innovative solutions that not only enhance the performance of the existing system but also incorporate new technologies to ensure greater energy efficiency, reduced operating costs, and improved safety, precisely addressing specific needs.

This approach goes beyond simple repairs or replacements, focusing instead on strategic improvements that add value. Each proposal has been carefully designed with an approach that integrates the quality of materials, the durability of the solutions, and ease of maintenance, ensuring optimal long-term performance.

Phase 3: Order and Construction of the Systems

Once the proposal has been approved by the client, the process moves to the order and system construction phase. At this stage, Nicro begins designing and manufacturing the necessary components according to the technical specifications agreed upon during the offer phase. Thanks to our expertise and highly qualified team, we can turn every project into a high-performance solution, meeting delivery deadlines and ensuring quality at every step.

In the case of the two complete systems for Herdicheroff bell furnaces, each custom-made component was manufactured at our facility. We carefully oversaw the production of every part of the system, including the hood, base, and fan, ensuring that every detail met the client’s requirements. Each component was carefully selected, choosing durable materials designed to guarantee maximum longevity and reliability over time.

During construction, our technical department collaborated closely with production to monitor each phase of the process, ensuring the most suitable solutions for the client’s specific needs. Additionally, quality controls were executed throughout the production stages to verify that every part of the system met safety standards and the required performance levels.

Phase 4: Testing at Nicro in the Presence of the Customer

Once the construction of the systems is complete, the next step is the final testing directly at our facility. This phase is essential to ensure that every component of the system functions correctly before final delivery and installation. Testing is also an opportunity for the customer to personally verify the quality and efficiency of the solutions provided, actively participating in the verification process.

During this phase, our technical team conducted a series of tests in the presence of the customer to verify that all components, such as the hood, base, and fan, operated perfectly and in an integrated manner. We monitored the system’s operation, checking technical parameters such as airflow rate, ventilation speed, proper fume disposal, and energy management.

Testing is not only about performance verification but also about safety. We tested each device and monitored the system’s ability to adapt to different operational scenarios. Every step was documented and explained to the customer, ensuring complete transparency and the opportunity to express any concerns or requests for modifications.

Phase 5: Installation and On-Site Supervision

After final approval, the next step is the installation of the system at the customer’s site. The installation is carried out directly by our team, with the support of Nicro technicians, who are present on-site to supervise every step, ensure that the system functions correctly under real operating conditions, integrates seamlessly with the existing infrastructure, and intervene if necessary.

For the Herdicheroff bell furnaces project, the installation took place in Sweden, where our team coordinated the assembly and welding operations of key system components. Our team worked closely with the customer’s staff, providing direct assistance to ensure that the system was ready for seamless operation.
