Wisconsin Oven of the United States announced that it has shipped two sets of electric multi-zone curing furnaces for a customer for the curing process of carbon fiber composite materials.
One of the curing ovens has 6 zones, the rated operating temperature is 250 ° C, and the sample chamber measures 19 feet wide, 16 feet 4 inches long, and 2 feet high. The other curing oven has only two zones, a rated operating temperature of 260 ° C, and the sample chamber measures 19 feet wide, 41 feet 4 inches long, and 2 feet high. According to Wisconsin Oven, temperature tests were performed on the two devices, and it was found that the device was able to guarantee temperature stability within a maximum rated temperature of ± 5 ° C.
Each heating zone of the curing furnace is equipped with a wire mesh rolling filtration system. The filter system is equipped with a piston, which can be easily disassembled and maintained. At the same time, the external crank can be used to push the material inwards as needed. These two components are designed together with Wisconsin Oven's E-Pack energy-saving upgrade package, which includes thickened equipment wall panels.

At Wisconsin Oven, we understand the importance of reducing downtime and maintenance time. Therefore, this design It can help the equipment to maintain a good operating state before maintenance, "said Tom Trueman, a senior application engineer at the company.
