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-9282 industrial oven preheats sheets of acrylic used in the manufacturing of motorcycle windshields. Acrylic sheets are loaded into the oven and preheated prior to being formed to the final shape. This custom oven utilizes four (4) trolley or product tracks for loading and unloading product. Each trolley has two product clamps for holding sheets of acrylic.

Oven capacity is eight (8) sheets of acrylic per batch. Sheets are placed into the clamps located on the trolleys and loaded into the oven chamber. The custom oven is then heated to 400°F (204°C), and the acrylic sheets are heated for a predetermined amount of time. Upon completion of the cycle, the oven doors are opened and the sheets are pulled outside of the heated chamber on the trolleys for unloading.
