Ferris Wheel (Vertical Tower) Conveyor Ovens & Furnaces

Ferris wheel continuous process ovens (also known as Vertical Tower ovens and furnaces) can provide a unique way to process a large volume of parts without taking up much floor space while increasing productivity.

A Ferris wheel oven is ideal for products and parts that need to be handled individually, and can be a great addition to a lean manufacturing work cell environment. To further enhance efficiency and help eliminate non-value added costs, the parts can be loaded and unloaded at the same station.

The parts that require heat processing are loaded onto a tray or fixture that conveys the parts vertically through the equipment, either continuous or indexing. The trays or fixtures are suspended from sprocket-driven chains. Often times, this design utilizes a cooling area to allow the parts to be unloaded at a lower port temperature.

Depending upon the application and your process requirements, this industrial heating equipment can be designed to provide multiple zones of control, and to meet the most stringent temperature uniformity requirements.

Ferris wheel ovens can be used in a wide range of applications and processes. Some typical heating applications include tempering, stress relieving, annealing, curing, preheating, drying, heat-shrinking, and heat-forming.

Some industries where Ferris wheel ovens are used include aerospace, automotive, pharmaceutical, plastics, rubber, electronics, printing, and finishing.
