DTI-1092 Batch Drying Oven
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-1092 batch drying oven dries ceramic modules used in the power generation industry. The drying oven includes two (2) custom product pallets. These pallets are used for loading and unloading and directs airflow through the module. The product sits on the pallet throughout the drying process. Each module weighs approximately 3,330 pounds. During the drying cycle approximately 700 pounds of water is removed from the product. The operating temperature of the oven is 257 degrees F. The circulation fan and exhaust fan utilize VFD’s to vary the volume of both circulated air and exhaust during the cycle. The system is controlled via PLC with Ethernet capabilities and touchscreen.
