Wisconsin Oven Corporation shipped two (2) Natural Gas Fired Enhanced Duty Walk-In Series Ovens to the foundry industry. The batch ovens will be used for drying sand cores used in the casting process of a variety of parts. The sand core dryers have the capability to dry water and resin from 6,000 pounds of sand cores and a 600-pound steal load car from 70°F to 450°F within 2 hours. Each of the work chamber dimensions of these sand core dryers is 10” W x 8” H x 20” L with a maximum temperature rating of 500°F. Guaranteed temperature uniformity of

Wisconsin Oven Corporation shipped an electrically heated draw batch series oven with air to water cool down to the firearms industry. The oven will be used for heat treating steel gun barrels under a nitrogen atmosphere. The equipment has sufficient capacity to heat 1,000 pounds of steel product and load basket from 70° to 1,125°F within 135 minutes (when loaded into an ambient oven). The work chamber of this heat treating oven is 36” W x 36” H x 36” L and the maximum temperature rating is 1,250°F. The minimum temperature uniformity requirement was ±10°F at 1,125°F. Based on a

Wisconsin Oven Corporation shipped two electrically heated drawer ovens to the wind power industry. The ovens will be used to heat wind turbine bearings for shrink fitting onto a shaft. Each oven has the capability to heat a 1,636 pound load of steel from 70°F to 302°F within a 4-hour period. The work chamber dimensions of these batch ovens are 3'4" W x 2'0” L x 4'0" H and the maximum temperature rating is 400°F. This customer was previously using induction heating, which provided poor temperature uniformity. The draw batch ovens achieved uniformity of 10° F at 302° F. The

Wisconsin Oven Corporation shipped an electrically heated batch core forming oven to a leader in the composites industry. This composite curing oven will be used for their patented process of forming honeycomb material for aircraft engines. The work chamber is 10’0” W x 6’0” L x 5’0” H and the maximum temperature rating is 800°F. The walls and ceiling feature a “CAN” style construction and includes 6” of 6# density. Based on a nine (9) point profile test, the temperature uniformity of this industrial oven is ±10°F at 550° and 685°. “Based on the success of previous projects, this customer

Wisconsin Oven Corporation shipped an electrically heated enhanced duty walk-in series oven to a medical equipment manufacturer. This batch oven will be used for sterilizing products. The work chamber of this sterilizing oven is 14’ W x 34’0” L x 8’ H and the maximum temperature rating is 300°F. The customer required a temperature uniformity of ±2°F at 160°F and this was proven based by a thirty (30) point test. The equipment has sufficient capacity to heat 18,000 pounds of swab boxes from 85°F to 160°F within 180 minutes when loaded into an ambient oven. The oven body is constructed

As Featured in Composite Manufacturing by: Mary Lou Jay | February 27, 2017 Enhanced Controls Improve Parts Quality Better ovens have helped improve the quality of OOA parts. Aerospace customers in particular are requesting ovens with more flexible systems and more accurate, higher-end controls, says Mike Grande, sales manager/senior applications engineer at Wisconsin Oven Corporation. Ovens now offer improved monitoring capabilities. Manufacturers can bag parts individually, embedding thermocouples in each part throughout its thick and thin sections. After the vacuum is drawn and the heating begins, technicians can monitor all the points inside each part, looking for the hottest and

Wisconsin Oven Corporation shipped an LP Gas Fired Heavy Duty Car Bottom Oven with Fume Incinerator to a repeat customer in the oil and gas industry. This is the seventh oven of this type ordered by this customer, all destined for locations in 5 different countries. The oven will be used for thermal cleaning to burn-off residue in oil drilling pipes. Once the pipes are burned out they are recoated. This method is an environmentally friendly way of cleaning out the oil from drilling pipes. This car bottom oven has a maximum temperature rating for of 800° F with work

Wisconsin Oven Corporation shipped two (2) steam heated batch ovens to a leading manufacturer of industrial products. The industrial ovens will be used for curing a water based adhesive applied to rolls of sand paper. The adhesive is needed for the sand to stick to the paper and curing the adhesive provides for a more durable product. These ovens are a duplicate to a previous order and were needed to meet increased production demands. The curing ovens have a maximum operating temperature of 300°F and work chamber dimensions of 17’6” W x 21’4” L x 7’6” H. The customer required
