Customer directive

Our customer wanted to create an indexing single part flow inert atmosphere production furnace system to match, and seamlessly integrate into, the customer’s entire existing manufacturing process at a production rate of 45 seconds part to part. The customer’s then existing process included inefficient batch furnace staging of parts at this point in the process.


Description

The DTI-429 inert atmosphere batch oven carbonizes ceramic product. Product is loaded into the industrial oven on the custom product cart provided with the oven.  This inert oven utilizes a two cart system. One cart is used for loading product into the inert atmosphere oven and operates in conjunction with the floor tracks located in the floor of the oven.  The second cart is used for transporting product around the factory floor and to the inert atmosphere oven.

Features

INERT ATMOSPHERE OVEN CONSTRUCTION

The floor cart is fabricated at the height required to match the tracks within the inert atmosphere oven.  This double cart system allows the ability to utilize an oven cart and maintain a good atmosphere seal at the door.  This oven operates under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen) and a positive pressure of 1.5″ WG.  The oven is provided with a cooling jacket and a cooling fan, utilized to force air through the cooling jacket.  The oven is designed for a maximum capacity of 5,000 pounds of product.
