Zusammenfassung:Equipment and method for homogenization of elongated cast products (P) from an aluminium alloy, said products being either extrusion ingots, sheet ingot or slabs of different dimensions, where the equipment (furnace) comprises a conveyor for transporting the products through it, a first heating zone and a following residing zone and a cooling chamber. According to the invention, the products are pre-heated in a separate pre-heating step before entering the heating zone, preferably up to 400 ˚C. The heat is generated by induction heating coils (1', 2', 3', 4') that can be operated intermittently.
