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-1011 conveyor oven is divided into four individually heated zones of control. Each zone is heated by a modulating natural gas fired burner system. The conveyor belt is a wire mesh woven type belt, and extends beyond the entrance and exit ends of the oven to allow for product to be loaded and unloaded from the heated chamber.

Features

Conveyor oven construction features

Access doors are included along the length of the conveyor oven on each side, providing cleaning and maintenance access. Automatic belt tracking systems are used to track the belt properly during operation. An automatic pneumatic tension system compensates for thermal expansion of the belt during operation, maintaining proper belt tension. The heated chamber is specifically designed to provide a combination of vertical up and down airflow to contact the product from both top and bottom.
