Airflow have many years of expertise in the design and manufacture of all of the above types of Conveyor Oven and have built up a portfolio of blue chip clients whose list of names read like a whose who of world class manufacturers.
Airflow conveyor ovens are used in many industries including Aerospace, Ceramics, Electronics, Pharmaceuticals, Domestic appliances, Automotive, Surface Finishing, Powder coating, Stove enamelling, Paint manufacture & Glass processing.
Conveyor Ovens present unique challenges to the oven designer. Most Conveyor Ovens have openings to allow the conveyor and products to enter and exit the oven. These 'product apertures' require sealing to prevent the escape of heat from the oven and the consequential increase in running costs. The most effective seal is by a high speed automated sliding door or doors, which are linked to a product-detecting beam. This solution is most effective on indexing conveyors, which move the product in pre-defined stages through the Conveyor Oven. A more common solution is to provide a fan powered 'air knife' seal. The air knife seals used by Airflow Products have been perfected over many years of development and provide a highly effective yet uninterrupted heat seal at both the inlet and exit of the oven. On powder coating Conveyor Ovens a special solution is required at the inlet to the oven so as to avoid the blow off of powder from the uncured products. Airflow products have developed a specific solution to this problem.
Temperature uniformity is of paramount importance not only throughout the length of the Conveyor Oven but more importantly in a vertical plane. Products passing through the heated zones of a Conveyor Oven must receive an identical amount of heat over the entire height of the product. The unique air flow configuration, recirculation ducting and multiple high capacity circulation fans used on an Airflow Products Conveyor Oven ensure that this requirement is reliably achieved.
Longer Conveyor Ovens can be divided into a number of individually controlled heated zones. By employing the Airflow 'zone control' system, products that would suffer blistering or distortion by very rapid warm up can be gently brought up to the required temperature. Conversely, high mass products such as castings can have an initial high temperature zone to force a large amount of heat into the product before entering a lower temperature soak section to complete the required process. Controlled cooling zones can also be added to provide slow or rapid cooling of the products.
Thermal efficiency is of growing importance as energy costs continue to rise on a worldwide basis. All current ovens supplied by Airflow Products employ industry leading materials and design techniques to ensure the optimum use of fuel and the minimisation of waste energy. Features such as heat recirculation, waste heat recovery, high thermal resistance casings and the total enclosure of all recirculation ducting within the thermally insulated shell result is ovens of unrivalled efficiency.
The definable energy benefits of specifying an Airflow Products oven over those of our competitors have enabled Airflow Group to secure Carbon Trust Interest Free loans for many of our customers, this funding will help finance your commercial requirements and further maximise your future profits. Please consider that we are only able to secure this funding because our Conveyor Oven equipment can be demonstrated to be more energy efficient than that of our competitors.
