ASI, Division of Thermal Technologies Inc., designed and manufactured a drying system for a Midwest-based manufacturer of silicone release liners. The customer’s current equipment was unable to meet their operational demands of wider web widths, larger roll diameters and a greater range of substrates.

A manufacturer of vacuum insulation panels will use an electric walk-in oven to dry compressed insulation sheets at a maximum temperature of 500°F.

ITW EAE, a division of Illinois Tool Works, received orders for more than 90 Despatch LBB lab ovens destined for a state department of transportation. The ovens will be used for drying and testing asphalt and aggregate samples.

A manufacturer of foundry supplies will use a large conveyor oven to dry ceramic fiber products. The oven, which is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 500°F (260°C), was built and delivered by Lewco Inc.

Custom designed three-stage heat exchanger can be used to increase the temperature of a 25,000 scfm airflow from 50 to 330°F (10 to 166°C) using 145 psig steam.

Manufacturing applications are constantly being modified to improve efficiency and quality. As process improvements are redefined, so is the equipment that is used. For example, one of the more commonly used tools in manufacturing is the electric air heater.

Industrial ovens cover the gamut of configurations, heating methods and manufacturing processes. With so many suppliers offering a range of designs, how do you know where to start? Use our online Equipment Overview to identify prospective suppliers for your next oven buying project.

When a vaccine manufacturer ordered walk-in ovens for a drying application, ITW EAE was able to commit to a shorter lead time due to its streamlined production line.

While product quality and consistency are key process requirements, operating costs and, in particular, energy consumption also are critical to the commercial success of any organization. 

A manufacturer of plumbing systems will use a conveyor oven rated for a maximum operating temperature of 500°F (260°C) to dry cast iron cores at 400°F (205°C).
