Batch ovens
Industrial batch ovens are a choice of heat treatment equipment that's extremely adaptable. They can be used at any production phase, from the initial preparation of materials to mid-production processes like curing composites or burn-in of electronic components, all the way to the final stage of production -- coating or finishing.
The ability to regulate the time of the process is an important aspect of a batch oven. This can be achieved through a variety of ways, including using a timer or a ramp/soak programer. This is a relatively affordable investment in the cost of an oven. However, it can give manufacturers a lot of flexibility who require different temperatures for their processes and soak times.
Batch ovens are also able to handle an array of different product shapes and sizes. This is a major advantage over conveyor ovens which are limited by the size of the belt.
However, this flexibility can create other problems. For example, if parts are not arranged in a uniform manner in an oven, some areas will heat faster than others. This can cause a variation in the temperature of the parts in the oven, which could result in inconsistent finished products. It is recommended to make use of custom-designed tray designs to ensure the components are placed in the correct configuration prior to placing them in the oven.
