DTI-1378 Crosslink & Expansion Conveyor Oven
Customer directive
Our customer wanted to place the products on a continuous conveyor that would move the product into the heated chambers for process. The Oven has forced air from the above and below because the product is impermeable to air passing through it. The airflow design provides efficiency in regards to process time and uniformity.
Description
The DTI-1378 provides a vertical up and down airflow to heat this particular product from top and bottom. The system’s conveyors provide a stable surface to support the product and is open to allow process air to flow freely onto the product. The design of the conveyors allow the customer to load and unload product easily into and out of the heated chamber. The oven system design does not required any special foundations but it does require a floor pit for installation on the exit end for a belt cleaning line-burner. The cooling roll conveyor system is installed on the plant floor, requiring a special trench modification for the tracks. The control system includes PLC control of the ramp and soak zone temperatures as well as the starting sequence for all components and flame safety systems. All functions are controlled from the operator HMI (touch screen) and multiple recipes can be stored for future use for various product requirements. The entire system is fully assembled and factory tested for operational verification prior to shipment.
