DTI-226-200 Indexing Conveyor Oven

DESCRIPTION

The DTI-226-200 indexing conveyor oven is used for pre-curing automotive drum brake linings.  This conveying system is designed to work in conjunction with a roll mill and automated cut-to-length system and operates in an indexing configuration.

Uncured linings are manually loaded from the cut-to-length system into the custom radius tooling tray, which makes up the oven conveying system. Oven conveyor index time is adjustable to match the product output from the roll mill and required dwell time within the heated chamber. Linings are heated in the oven chamber and cooled prior to exit, allowing the lining to maintain its shape prior to adhesive being applied in the next process.

AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIER ADVANTAGES

• Elimination of batch processes and associated labor cost of handling product
• Reduces work in process
• Custom oven tooling arrangement eliminates the need for fixtures that would be required for batch curing
• Shorter cycle times equate to less energy required for production
• This oven provides for means of continuous operation by eliminating the need for batch type pre-cure operations
• Reduces required labor force

AUTOMOTIVE OVEN FEATURES

• The oven is electrically heated
• Two (2) independent zones of heating control
• Forced Air Cooling zone
• Custom Product trays make up conveying system
• All features of oven controlled by PLC
• Pneumatic vertical doors at each end open and close in conjunction with the oven index to minimize heat loss
