Following the same modular design concept as our other core product ranges, our box ovens are constructed with standardised modules, panels, heating and circulation components, allowing us to adapt our designs to your particular application and internal processes. Through computer aided design and complex computations, our team will tailor the componentry depending on your specifications and dimensions of the oven, ensuring hot and cold spots are eliminated within the main curing chamber. Consistent distribution of heat is a vital trait for successful process oven design.
As standard, our box ovens are designed with air input ducting down a single wall, but larger ovens or those requiring a more accurate temperature profiling have ducting down two or three side, depending on the specifications desired and the process requirements. Furthermore, we can also supply and install data recording equipment to monitor internal conditions, as well as additional doors, differing heat sources and temperatures. Each oven project is reviewed and where necessary, additional control systems for programming, heat-up times, cooling or removing fumes are added.
Tunnel ovens are straight though or multiple pass ovens built into a space or corner for the curing of automated product lines, post powder or construction. These ovens are complex and are always bespoke to our customer requirements, with full control systems for product automation and monitoring. Like our box ovens, our tunnel ovens come as standard with a separate heating chamber combined with an air recirculation system, ensuring hot and cold spots are eliminated within the main curing chamber.
Air seals at both entry point and exit minimise the hot air from escaping into the surrounding plant, maximising efficiency and minimising waste. As standard air input ducting runs down the floor directly under the conveyorised product. Where a floor mounted conveyor system is required, the air input ducting moves to the walls. All of our tunnel ovens come with a digital temperature control as standard, available with temperatures up to 240 degrees celcius, ideal for drying, stoving, powder curing and post curing.
A very popular choice for customers who specialise in alloy wheel refurbishment is to combine an enclosed spray booth with an oven, using either a dry or water backed filtration system. When combined with a curing oven, and maybe even a drying room for wet painted products, this layout ensures that any possible airborne contaminants are filtered out, ensuring a perfect, blemish free finish every time.
You can also expand a standard layout with a manually operated overhead conveyor system, taking away all the manual handling issues that are present when moving a product that is potentially 200 degrees after curing. With loads on a single hanger of up to 800kg, the system can be adapted to suit any requirement, ideal for flourishing refurb businesses and those who are looking to make their processes more efficient.
