PRE TREATMENT

For this project tube firing burner systems and heat exchangers were used to heat pre-treatment tanks. The forced or induced burners used can efficiently heat the water-based chemicals in a short period of time and guarantee industrial reliability even in the harshest of operating environments.

For further information see ''Tube Firing Systems' in the Products section.


DRYING/STOVING OVENS

Requirement: The need for industrial direct fired combustion equipment to heat Drying or Stoving ovens.

Burners were developed to provide flexible temperature control, either on / off, or high / low for simple applications or fully modulating where temperature stability is critical. Well proven nozzle mix systems were utilised to ensure total reliability in harsh, highly contaminated working environments.

For further information see 'Package Burners' in the Products section.


BATCH OVENS WITH CIRCULATING AIR

For information see above and 'Package Burners' in the products section.

BATCH OVENS WITHOUT RE-CIRCULATING AIR

Requirement: A cost effective system to heat new and existing Batch or Box ovens quickly, evenly and efficiently.

Ribbon pattern bar burners were developed and installed along the full length of the oven internal. Heating by convection only allowed a variety of colours to be stoved in a single batch without the problem of cross colouration.

Tests show that even without a re-circulating fan in the system, the temperature control and uniformity throughout the oven was comparable to that of a fanned system.

For further information see 'Bar / Singe Burners' in the Products section.


INFRA RED PRE HEATING AND STOVING

Requirement: Specialist heat sources to pre heat coated metal panels prior to entering the stoving oven in order to increase line speed and finish quality.

Due to the space restrictions of the project, high intensity gas fired infra-red heaters were selected and integrated into the existing oven structure. Due to cost effective requirement of the customer, atmospheric units were used, removing the need for costly forced draft equipment and controls.

The result was an increase in the line speed and quality of the finish, even on the more demanding coatings like post forming powders.

Infra Red heat sources can also be used for final stoving, with the use of variable output gas fired emitters combined with accurate temperature control (using surface temperature monitoring). This results in the product being swiftly and efficiently stoved, without the need for bulky hot air oven systems.
