Lewco Inc. manufactured and delivered a vacuum-assisted composite curing oven to a United States military base. The enhanced-duty oven, which has a maximum temperature of 500°F, is used to cure vacuum-bagged composite aircraft parts.

An industrial coating company that serves a range of industries took delivery of a curing oven it will use for a process that requires even product heating.

A national research laboratory will use a vacuum-assisted composite curing oven to cure various composite parts. The 500°F (260°C) oven was commissioned by Lewco Inc.

Designed to be used for curing rubber parts, No. 998 is a 450°F (~232°C) gas-fired, vertical conveyor oven. Workspace dimensions measures 68 x 74 x 121”, and 400,000 BTU/hr are installed in a modulating natural-gas burner to heat the oven. 

The Powder Coating and Curing Processes Seminar is scheduled for October 20-21 at the Alabama Power Technology Application Center in Calera, Ala.

A custom conveyor oven designed and equipped for processes involving curing cast wafer assemblies has been shipped to a company in the contact lens industry.

Infrared heaters are used to transfer heat through a process or to a product via radiation.

By its most simple definition, process heating is the raising of the temperature of a part or substrate within a manufacturing process.

While the reduction of solvent emissions within VOC guidelines is an important goal throughout industry, it has been challenging for drying oven suppliers.
