Industrial Ovens

Compare INDUSTRIAL OVENS. Industrial ovens do not exceed 650 C ( 1200F) in temperature. Industrial reach In and industrial bench ovens operate in the 250 to 350C range. Most Walk In ovens operate at a higher temperature. Temperatures above 650 C fall into the furnace category. Ovens are divided into batch and continuous. This section will only cover batch type ovens. Batch type ovens are primarily front loaded and are divided into reach in and walk/truck in.

Industrial Bench (Reach In) Ovens.

Reach in or industrial bench top ovens range in size from less than 10 cubic feet in volume ( bench top ovens ) to over 100 cu ft for foor mounted reach in ovens. Most ovens come with one or two swing out doors. Overhead doors are available on the larger models, but are often a special order

Walk In (Truck In) Ovens.

WALK IN or TRUCK IN ovens range from 100 cu ft to over 700 cu ft. They have side swing doors. Many of these models come with shelf loading capability. Heat energy is either electric, gas or fuel oil. Steam heat is available for special applications. The power for electric ovens is rated in kilo watts (KW), for gas and oil in BTU per hour. To assure uniform temperature distribution throughout the oven, most models use a fan to circulate the air. The air flow can be horizontal, front to back or side to side. Or the air flow can be vertical. The construction, installation and training of the operators of industrial ovens is governed by NFPA 86, the standard from the National Fire Prevention Association. The buyers and potential user of ovens should be familiar with the standard Some manufacturers claim compliance to NFPA 70. This is the national electrical code, which applies to all industrial, commercial and public facilities. Ovens are classified into Class A, for operation close to atmospheric pressure with flammable or volatile vapors present in the oven. Class B is for ovens operating at or near atmospheric pressure with no volatile or flamable vapors present. Class C operate with special atmospheres in the oven.;

Liquid Temperature Control

Liquid temperature control systems are used where sections of tools or machines have to be heated to a moderate temperature level.
