DTI-1508 Wire Enameling Oven
Customer directive
DTI-1508 was engineered and manufactured to cure an enamel coating on a thin wire. Top and bottom heating was required to provide an even curing around the circumference of the wire. Small amounts of VOCs are released during this process, requiring an exhaust heat and catalyst system.
Description
The horizontal oven consists of a heated chamber with IR heaters above and below the product. Glass face bottom heaters can be cleaned if coating drips onto them during the process while quartz face top heaters provide a quick heat up time. The wire product can be threaded over a row of grooved pulleys on the outside of both ends of the machine for as many passes required depending on the heating time and line speed required. An applicator on the entrance end coats the wire before entering the heated chamber. The exhaust system pulls air from the top of the heated chamber and keeps any VOC’s from escaping out the ends of the oven. The exhaust air is heated to a sufficient temperature before entering a catalyst to destroy the VOC’s.
