INFRARED CONVEYOR/TUNNEL OVEN

 

EconoRed™ Series VI conveyor ovens are available in 30, 54 and 78 in. (76, 137 and 198 cm) widths are equipped with six infrared heaters in a single chamber for rapid curing, drying or preheating of parts, laminates and coatings.

Model ER-VI-30 offers a 30 in. (76 cm) wide conveyor belt and 15,600 watts (15.6 kW) of power — model ER-VI-54, a 54 in. (137 cm) belt and 31,200 watts (31.2 kW). Model ER-VI-78 with 46,800 watts (46.8 kW) and a 78 in. (198 cm) wide belt can accommodate large parts, sheet and film products in single or multiple rows.

As with all Vastex conveyor ovens, capacity can be doubled, tripled or quadrupled by adding one, two or three modular heating chambers and conveyor belt extensions — as new or when needs grow.

The focused exhaust system evacuates moisture and fumes from the heating chamber and provides excellent air flow to cool the outer skin of the oven.

All heaters feature closely spaced coils that provide high-density, medium-wavelength infrared heat for maximum cure speed without cold spots or under-curing, and come with a 15-year warranty.

The Vastex Infrared Focusing System allows heater adjustment to any height from 2 to 7 in. (5.1 to 17.8 cm) above the belt, allowing the operator to compensate for bulky garments or hats.

The digital PID temperature controller is accurate to +/- 1°F (+/-0.5°C), allowing the operator to fine-tune or accurately repeat curing results at any future time.

The 13.25 ft (404 cm) long conveyor belt runs true by means of a low friction belt aligner patented by the company, with digital belt speed controls allowing infinitely adjustable dwell times to suit the application

A Teflon-coated fiberglass belt is standard, with optional Kevlar® and stainless steel mesh belts available for high-heat and/or sanitary applications.

Other options include: Conveyor Extensions at the infeed or discharge end of the oven to optimize loading and cooling/unloading of products; a Conveyor Air Bar to speed the cooling and handling of items exiting the chamber; and an Exhaust Hood that can be mounted to the rear of the unit to remove fumes of adhesives and other coatings that continue to off-gas after exiting the chamber.

Modular expandability allows your oven to grow with you

Modular expandability allows your oven to grow with you

The capacity (belt speed) of LittleRed®, EconoRed™, and BigRed® 4D Series (shown) conveyor ovens can be doubled or tripled as new or when needs increase by simply adding one or two modular heating chambers and extending the conveyor belt. This eliminates the need to invest in a larger oven than you need at the onset, and avoids the high cost of purchasing a new oven when your needs increase.
