DTI-7939 Heat Set 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
The DTI-7939 industrial oven cures paper honeycomb products used for the aerospace industry. This batch oven utilizes a conveyor to load and unload product into the oven. Parts are loaded into molds that form the shape of the part. The mold is then placed on the conveyor and indexed into the heated chamber. During the curing cycle, the part is formed to the desired shape of the mold. Once the curing cycle is complete, the mold is indexed out of the heated chamber to the unload section of the conveyor and unloaded. The smaller molds are loaded through the side door via fork lift.
