OVENS
Wisconsin Oven has designed and manufactured an electrically heated belt conveyor oven (above) with two decks, top-down airflow, and a cool down. This oven is used for curing adhesive on motorcycle rear fenders.
Each work chamber is 5'9" wide × 19'3" long × 2'2" high. This oven was designed with 4" tongue-and- groove panels, and the equipment includes a horizontal split line for ease of shipping. The oven was rated for a maximum operating tempera- ture of S00 °F with a heating capacity of 144 kW. This oven features a 27,000 CFM at 20 HP recirculation blower. The cooldown has a 19,500 CFM at 20 HP push blower and 19,500 CFM at 20 HP pull blower. There are four pneumatic vertical lift doors.
Wisconsin Oven also designed and
manufactured a gas-fired conveyor oven with a blow off and cool down for drying moisture on aluminum replacement coils. The oven has hori- zontal airflow, a work chamber that is 2'6" wide × 20'4" long × 3'6" high, and a 300°F maximum operating temperature. The equipment features a 1" × 1" fiat wire belt driven by a DC drive with potentiometer speed con- trol, and a 304 stainless steel blow-off and oven interior. The drying system has an energy-saving feature that shuts down the blow-off and cooling systems and reduces oven tempera- ture when it is not in use.
Wisconsin Oven also designed and manufactured a gas-fired batch oven for aging assorted aluminum parts. The oven has work chamber dimen- sions of 9' wide × 9' long x 7'6" high, and a maximum operating tempera- ture of 600°F. The customer is able to load 12,000 Ibs of densely loaded
a luminum parts, stacked into 4' wide x 4' long × 32" high baskets (stacked two baskets high), for a total of eight baskets per load. The oven has a standard PLC control package that includes an Allen Bradley Micrologix PLC. One hard- wired "program start" button was supplied for ease of operator use. A six-point exterior-mounted thermo- couple jack panel was utilized. Lube lines run from the roof-mounted blowers to floor level for ease of maintenance.
