DTI – 1255 Overhead Conveyor Oven System
Customer directive
Our customer wanted to place their instrument panels on an indexing overhead conveyor that would move the product into the heated chambers for process. The heated air in the oven is forced around the parts with a horizontal across airflow. The airflow design provides efficiency in regards to process time and uniformity.
Description
The DTI-1255 provides a horizontal across airflow to heat this particular product. The design velocity accounts for the pressure drop through the product to provide an efficient process. The systems conveyor provides a stable surface to support the product and is open to allow process air to flow freely across the product. The design of the conveyors allow the customer to load and unload product easily and the belts travel approximately 5’-6” in just 8 seconds to move into and out of the heated chamber quickly. The oven system design does not required any special foundations or floor pits for installation. The oven and the transfer conveyor system are installed on an existing plant floor requiring no special modifications. The control system includes PLC control of the cart, ramp and soak temperature profile controls, 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.
