Vastex oven cures film, sheet, parts and more
ERVP-VI-24 This infrared tunnel oven from Vastex has three 9-foot-long heating chambers totaling 46,800 watts that draw filtered make-up air through double-wall housings that preheat the air while cooling the outer skin for operator safety. Adjustable downdraft exhaust is drawn through a stainless steel or Teflon-coated fiberglass mesh belt, preventing contaminated air from contacting heaters and other internal components, while keeping lightweight items from shifting on the belt. Contaminated exhaust is drawn through a screened receptacle for collection of condensate and/or dust. The heaters maintain temperatures within +/- 1°F of set points.
What’s new? The oven.
Benefits High-volume curing of film, sheet, adhesives, coatings and parts. Airflow mapping increases curing efficiency and cuts emissions.
