DTI-1109 Batch Curing 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
This batch curing oven is used to cure a varnish on stators used in the manufacturing of electric generators. The oven utilizes two (2) individual chambers in one (1) common oven body with each chamber accommodating up to six (6) stators. If both chambers are fully loaded the maximum weight of stators will be 84,000 pounds. Each chamber utilizes an automated vertical lift door on both the entrance and exit end of the oven. Each chamber utilizes IR sensors located in the doors to monitor the temperature of each individual stator during the process. The product temperature of each stator is recorded to a chart recorder.
