This new heating technique is achieved by using a transverse conveyance system in which the car bodies are processed sideways through heating zones, which allows for large convection nozzles to be positioned to direct heated air through the windshield opening of the car into the inner cabin areas as well as directly into the engine compartment areas.
No. 865 is a 750 °F, three-zone conveyor oven that offers workspace dimensions of 30” W x 18’ D x 15” H. 90 KW (30 KW per zone) are installed in Incoloy sheathed tubular heating elements, while three 1500 CFM, 1-1/2 HP recirculating blowers provide vertical downward airflow to the workload.
No. 1020 is a 500 °F (260 °C) vertical airflow cabinet oven from Grieve, currently used for pass-thru heat processing with a customer’s conveyor system.
