An industrial oven used to cure coated automotive parts was identified as the cause of a fire in a former carpet mill building in Worcester, Mass.

Thomas Morris Crafton, president and CEO of Thermcraft Inc., Winston-Salem, N.C., passed away April 28, 2020, following a battle with leukemia.

A recently released white paper details how to increase productivity in aluminum aging. It reviews aging oven design, convection airflow, how airflow delivers better performance, controller features and products that require aging.

Wisconsin Oven released a white paper that focuses on increasing productivity in aluminum aging. It reviews age oven design, convection airflow, how airflow delivers better performance, controller features and products that require aging.

A mechanical convection oven will allow a company in the oil and gas industry to process products containing flammable vapors inside the oven while maintaining safe operating conditions. It includes special construction that evacuates solvent vapors from the chamber and reduces ignition sources.

A large international manufacturer will used two walk-in ovens to heat up molds to 220°F (105°C), with each mold weighing approximately 900 lb. The ovens, supplied by Lewco Inc., contain a custom rack with five shelves capable of handling up to five molds per batch.

A multi-lane curing conveyor oven will increase production for a United States-based parts manufacturer. Shipped by International Thermal Systems, the oven has proprietary top-down airflow to ensure uniform processing of a range of steel and plastic parts.

An electrical component manufacturing company will use a batch oven for product testing and curing coatings on electronics. The Blue M clean-room oven, shipped by Thermal Product Solutions, is designed with a maximum temperature range of 60°F (15°C) above ambient to 662°F (350°C).

Two multi-zone ovens will be used by a company in the composites industry to cure carbon fiber threads. One of the electrically heated ovens has six zones and is rated for 482°F (250°C), and the second oven has two zones and is rated for 500°F (260°C).
