A company in the automotive industry will utilize a fuel-fired conveyor oven to cure an adhesive to bond dissimilar materials at 500°F (260°C). The oven, designed and manufactured by Lewco Inc., Sandusky, Ohio, includes a single, direct-fired natural gas heater box with a capacity of 1 million BTU/hr.

Wisconsin Oven offers high quality heat treat ovens and furnaces, with standard temperature ratings up to 1400°F.

Thermal Product Solutions shipped a Gruenberg conveyor oven with a maximum temperature rating of 360°F (182°C) and an operating temperature range of 300 to 330°F (150 to 165°C) to a company in the medical industry.

A manufacturer of iron cookware ordered a conveyor oven to cure a special coating at 475°F (246°C). Lewco Inc. will design and develop the oven, which is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 500°F (260°C).

A spring manufacturer received a shipment of two industrial conveyor ovens that will be used to stress-relieve torsion springs. The custom ovens, designed and shipped by Lewco Inc., are rated for a maximum temperature of 650°F (343°C).

A gas-fired chain conveyor oven was shipped to a manufacturer in the automotive industry that will use it for tempering transmission shafts. Manufactured by Wisconsin Oven, the tempering oven has a maximum temperature rating of 392°F (200°C) and a 27' long chamber.

Continuous process ovens (or conveyor ovens) are batch ovens that repetitively operate with a specific product traveling through them. The conveyor belt moving through the oven has a job to do and keeps on doing that job until the product is complete.

Low energy output, cost savings and consistent temperature gradients can be achieved with recirculated hot air ovens.

Companies have many choices when it comes to conveying methods to move a load through an oven. Factors to consider when selecting a conveying system include the product configuration, weight, oven temperature and desired process flow.

A company in the transportation industry will use a natural-gas-fired conveyor oven with a maximum temperature of 500°F (260°C) to cure contoured plastic parts.
