Product details
A composite curing oven is used to cure, anneal, dry, and/or harden synthetic and composite materials. The process for these composite materials frequently includes bagging and putting them under a vacuum while being cured. In addition to vacuum bagging composites, other technologies used include filament winding and honeycomb panels or blocks. Each of these specialized composite applications is unique, and Wisconsin Oven's experienced team designs and manufactures high-performance ovens for every one of them.
These out of autoclave (OOA) composite curing ovens are available electrically heated, gas-fired, or indirect gas-fired. As a standard, they are designed with a combination airflow arrangement which ensures even & uniform heat distribution throughout the work chamber and provides quicker heating rates and recovery times. They are typically guaranteed and certified for ±5° at 350° F temperature uniformity, but other tolerances and certification at other temperatures are available. Upon request, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis can be used to optimize airflow, heat transfer, and overall oven performance.
Out of Autoclave Composite Curing Ovens
Out of Autoclave has become more popular as a cost-effective alternative to high-pressure autoclave composite curing. OOA processing removes the need to pressurize the entire chamber by using vacuum bag only (VBO) technology with tight vacuum tolerances. Wisconsin Oven OOA industrial ovens allow you to cure various materials of complex contours, shapes, and sizes all while providing fast heat-up rates and cycle times, superior temperature uniformity, and an optimal cure.
Wisconsin Oven Premium Control System
With industry-leading software from a Rockwell-based PLC, your team will work with technology specifically designed for composite processing with a user-friendly interface and powerful capabilities. Wisconsin Oven’s Premium Control System (WPCS) provides high-level monitoring of variables such as temperature and vacuum and generates detailed, user-friendly reports that meet the requirements of AMS2750. It allows control based on air temperature or part temperature with single or multi-zone options available, in addition to leading, lagging, and controlled ramping. Download the WPSC brochure for more information and premium features.

Composite Curing: Composites are a reinforcing fiber in a polymer matrix that commonly needs to be cured to set the matrix. Many industries such as transportation, construction, marine, infrastructure, and aerospace, have realized the benefits of composites. Companies in the aerospace and automotive industries are using composite materials to help make their products lighter, faster, and more fuel-efficient.
- Quicker Heating Rates and Recovery Times: Using a high pressure recirculation blower to deliver heat through a combination airflow arrangement to ensure uniform heat distribution throughout the work chamber.
- Excellent Temperature Uniformity & Heating Rates: Typically guaranteed and certified for ±5° at 350° F temperature uniformity prior to shipment. Other tolerances are also available.
- Lower Installation & Start-Up Costs: All units are fully factory assembled, tested, adjusted, and certified PRIOR to shipment through an extensive quality inspection.
