INFRARED CONVEYOR/TUNNEL OVEN

 

The multi-purpose LittleRed X3D Series infrared ovens, with 30, 54 or 78 in. (76.2, 137 or 198 cm) widths, feature a high-powered boost zone that rockets substrate temperatures past 300°F (149°C) within the first several inches (centimetres) of conveyor travel, exposing items to efficient at-cure temperatures sooner, allowing increased conveyor belt speeds and oven output.

The LR-X3D-30 oven with 30 in. (76.2 cm) by 88 in. (224 cm) conveyor belt is equipped with three 24 in. (61 cm) wide heaters for 8,900W @ 240V total wattage or 8.9 kW and a 388 CFM (11 CMM) targeted exhaust system to rapidly remove moisture and air contaminates from the heating chamber, as well as cool the skin and controls.

The 54 in. (137 cm) wide LR-X3D-54 oven has a 54 in. (137 cm) wide by 88 in. (224 cm) long belt and three 48 in. (122 cm) heaters producing 17,800W or 17.8 kW of curing power. The 41 in. (104 cm) long heating chamber is equipped with 550 CFM (5.6 CMM) powered exhaust.

LR-X3D-78 oven comes with a 78 in. (198 cm) wide by 102 in. (260 cm) long conveyor, accommodating large individual pieces or rows of smaller sized parts/products for maximum production. It is equipped with three 72 in. (183 cm) heaters producing 26,700W or 26.7 kW of power and a 1,100 CFM (31.2 CMM) powered exhaust system.

All infrared heaters are digitally-controlled and height-adjustable to maximize curing efficiency as items are conveyed through the heating chamber, providing the precision-thermal-profiling (PTP) needed to match curing conditions to the drying characteristics of the process.

The conveyor belt is continuously centered by a roller belt tracking system, and is driven at precisely controlled speeds to vary dwell time in single-chamber units from 30 seconds to four minutes, and up to eight minutes in dual chamber models.

A Teflon®-coated fiberglass belt with alignment tracking system is standard. Several variations of mesh belts for high-heat and/or sanitary applications are optional.

The capacity of all LittleRed ovens can be increased by adding heating chambers, extending the conveyor belt length and increasing the infinitely-variable speed setting of the digital belt control.

The heaters of all Vastex ovens carry an industry-leading 15-year warranty, and feature closely spaced coils that provide high-density, medium-wavelength infrared heat for maximum cure speed without cold spots or under curing.

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.
