Wisconsin Oven Corporation announced the shipment of a gas fired walk-in batch oven to their customer in the automotive industry. The batch oven will be used for aluminum aging various automotive castings. The customer will place 6,000 pounds of steel racks with aluminum castings into the oven for aging. This aluminum age oven was purchased to meet the increasing demand for their product.

The gas fired walk-in oven has a maximum temperature rating of 572°F and a work chamber of 8’W x 8’L x 8’H.
