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. 

No. 856 is used for curing composite parts in vacuum bags. Workspace dimensions of this 500°F (260°C) oven measure 42 x 40 x 50”, and 48 KW are installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular heating elements.

An industrial filter manufacturer purchased a fuel-fired conveyor oven rated for a maximum operating temperature of 500°F (260°C). The oven, which was manufactured and supplied by Lewco Inc., is used to cure resin applied to the filters. The finished product is used for a variety of applications.
