Industrial Batch Oven to Automotive Supplier for Aging Tires
Wisconsin Oven Corporation announced the shipment of an electrically heated batch oven to a leading supplier of the automotive industry for aging rubber tires. This industrial oven was designed with a built in tire rotation system that ensures uniform heating throughout the entire tire. The batch oven has a maximum operating temperature of 300°F and work chamber dimensions of 14’9”W x 6’L x 5’6”H.
This aging oven features guaranteed temperature uniformity of +/-10°F at 230° F that was verified through a nine (9) point profile test conducted in an empty oven chamber under static operating conditions prior to shipment. The recirculation system utilizes two (2) 6,000 CFM @ 7 ½ HP direct driven blowers that are low maintenance and energy efficient. The oven features bottom up airflow that heats each section of the tire evenly as the tires rotate. Supply air is delivered through a fully adjustable boxed duct that is located below the tire rotation system.
“During heat treating applications temperature uniformity is essential to achieving optimal part results. The tire rotation system for this particular oven along with the placement of airflow ensured that the rubber was aged evenly throughout the tire.” Gene Vetter, Senior Applications Engineer at Wisconsin Oven
Unique features of this industrial oven’s tire rotation system include:
- Eight (8) tire positions
- It is rated for 275-pound maximum tire weight
- Fixed guide rollers will be located on the sides
- Variable speed drive with a tire rotation speed range of 2 to 10 RPM
