DTI-1078 Calcining Batch 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-1078 batch oven dries ceramic material in a honeycomb catalyst product. Product, which can be either small blocks or trays of powder, are loaded onto a product cart. The product cart contains multiple shelves which hold the product. The cart is loaded into the Calcining Batch Oven via recessed tracks located in the floor of the oven. The calcining process takes approximately ten (10) hours. The cycle has several profiles that are controlled by a programmable digital controller. During the cycle the oven is exhausting approximately 800 pounds of water. The maximum operating temperature of the Calcining Batch Oven is 1,292 degrees F.
