El Marakby for Metallic Industries (MKM) has chosen Danieli Centro Combustion India to supply a new 60-ton-per-hour (tph) pusher-type reheating furnace for its rolling mill in Egypt's 6th October Industrial Zone.

The new furnace is designed to significantly improve thermal efficiency and billet temperature consistency, thereby enhancing the rolling mill’s performance. It will incorporate patented Danieli burners engineered to reduce fuel consumption, minimize scale formation, and decrease pollutant emissions.

This investment is in line with MKM’s strategy for decarbonization and its commitment to reducing environmental impact. The new reheating furnace is scheduled to begin operation in mid-2027.
