H U T - C L E A N I N G OVENS Guspro Inc., Chatham, Ont.

New sizes of Guspro GO-Series heat-cleaning ov- ens are designed to clean electrostatic coating line components, hooks, baskets, trays, trees, line fix- tures, rack grates, hangers, and reject parts for powder-coating operations. The GO-Series ovens' heat source is in the refractory firebox under the load cart, protecting the parts from temperature distortion. Fast-cleaning cycles assure increased productivity. A rapid-response, heavy-duty ther- mal oxidizer burns off hydrocarbon emissions, smoke, and odor. These ovens save labor and elim- inate chemicals, solving most waste disposal and liability problems for powder coaters.

IMMERSION STRIPPERS Enequist Chemical Co., Brooklyn, N.Y.

The Enequist Chemical Co. provides a line of quality immersion strippers. These products facil- itate the finishers' objective to strip plated and electroless metallic deposits and organic coatings off of ferrous and nonferrous substrates. Ultrex NBS, when prepared as a working solution, effi- ciently strips metallic deposits off steel. Ultrex NAN, similar to Ultrex NBS and supplied as a ready-to-use bath, strips metallic deposits off of steel, brass, and copper alloys. Ecostrip 24, a blend of powerful agents, free of chlorinated sol- vents, readily dissolves and lifts off a wide range of powder coats, lacquers, epoxies, and resins from ferrous metals, brass, and copper alloys; Ecostrip 32 is similar to Ecostrip 24 but strips the same range of organic coatings off of aluminum, brass, copper alloys, and zinc.

STRIPPING OVENS ACE Equipment Inc., Cleveland ACE manufactures ovens, which easily remove paint and powder coating from metal parts, such as hooks, racks, and other parts, without damage. The load is heated to 650 to 800°F (340-427°C) in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere where the com- bustible hydrocarbons decompose. Parts leave the oven completely dry. Ash residue is easily re- moved. The system eliminates chemical stripping, which is hazardous to employees and the environ- ment. Typical cleaning cycles are 2 to 4 hr, de- pending on the size of the load. The ovens are available in 29 s tandard sizes and conform to EPA standards.
