INFRARED CONVEYOR/TUNNEL OVEN

 

The BigRed series ovens are the largest and most powerful ovens, engineered for applications requiring high capacities.

Both models feature a boost zone that jets temperatures to over 300°F (149°C) within the first few inches/centimeters of conveyor travel, increasing dwell time at optimum curing temperatures for significantly higher belt speeds and output.

Model BR4D-V30 is equipped with a conveyor belt 30 in. (76 cm) wide belt and 8-3/4 ft (267 cm) long. The heating chamber measures 4.5 ft. (137.2 cm) in length and houses four 24 in. (61 cm) wide heaters producing a total of 11,400 watts of power.

Model BR4D-V54 has a 54 in. (137 cm) wide conveyor belt, also 8-3/4 ft (267 cm) long. The 4.5 ft. (137.2 cm) long heating chamber houses four 48 in. (61 cm) wide heaters for 22,800 watts of power.

An exhaust fan located below the center of the conveyor belt draws the preheated air downward over and through the belt, discharging fumes and moisture from the underside of the chamber at 500 CFM (14.2 CMM) through a 6 in. (15.24 cm) diameter outlet that rotates 360 degrees to accommodate the plant's ductwork.

Exhaust filters located on both sides of the conveyor prevent airborne dust and lint from entering the blower or exhaust stack. Preventive cleaning of all filters before or after each shift can be accomplished in one minute, safeguarding products, the equipment and the shop environment.

Exhaust flow sensors with warning lights alert operators to a clogged exhaust line, clogged filter or blower failure. Other safety features include a light tower to monitor oven status, and a 'cool down mode' for powering down.

Dual digital PID temperature controls maintain accuracy to +/-1°F (+/-0.5°C). Controls are located on the right side of the heating chamber as standard, or on the left side to accommodate the plant layout.

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

The heaters of the oven carry a 5-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 associated with conventional units.

Double or triple capacity by adding one or two additional chambers and extending the conveyor belt length, allowing you to double or triple conveyor speed and output depending on application. Ovens can be ordered as new with multiple chambers, or can be expanded on-site in the future when needs increase.

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.
