No. 853 This belt conveyor oven from Grieve has a stainless-steel interior and exterior, 4-inch-thick insulated walls and a maximum operating temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The oven is heated by Nichrome wire heating elements, and a 3-horsepower recirculating blower provides downward airflow. Its flat wire conveyor belt is driven by a ¼-horsepower motor, and its speed can range from 0.9 inches per minute to 17.6 inches per minute. It was built for a customer for curing coatings and heat-shrinking plastics.
What’s new? The configuration of the No. 853.
Benefits Precise control. The No. 853 can calibrate dwell time to accomplish both curing and heat-shrinking functions in a single pass. This process would normally require two ovens, or a heating chamber over a conveyor.
