INFRARED CONVEYOR/TUNNEL OVEN

 

The EconoRed III Series high-capacity ovens in three widths have been re-engineered to cure or dry at higher rates, more quietly, in a smaller footprint, and at lower cost. Fully expandable by addition additional heating chambers, these ovens can grow as needs expand.

All models have a 4.5 foot (137 cm) long heating chamber that holds three heaters with 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.

Model ER-III-30 comes with a 30 in. (76.2 cm) wide conveyor, three 12 x 24 in. (30 x 61 cm) heaters that provide 10,800 Watts (10.8 kW) of power and a filtered exhaust system that removes fumes and excess moisture at a rate of 380 CFM (10.7 CMM) while cooling the outer skin of the unit.

Equipped with a 54 in. (137 cm) conveyor, the ER-III-54 has three 12 x 48 in. (30 x 122 cm) heaters, 21,600 Watts (21.6 kW) of power and a 550 CFM (15.6 CMM) exhaust system.

With a 78 in. (198 cm) wide conveyor, the ER-III-78 can accommodate large items singly and smaller items in rows, providing uniform curing from three 12 x 72 in. (30 x 183 cm) heaters with a total of 23,400 watts (23.4 kW) and a 700 CFM (19.9 CMM) exhaust system.

All models come equipped as standard with the Vastex Infrared Focusing System. Heaters can be adjusted to any height from 2 to 7 in. (5.1 to 17.7 cm) above the belt, or at an angle, to accommodate large or bulky items.

EconoRed ovens feature a digital PID temperature controller accurate to +/-1°F (+/-0.5°C); the control box can be positioned on the right (standard) or left side of the enclosure to suit plant layouts.

Overall conveyor length of the Teflon®-coated fiberglass belt is 105 in. (266.7 cm) and a low friction belt aligner and belt speed controls precisely set dwell times. Mesh belts for high-heat and/or sanitary applications are optional.

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.
