Pusher
and Indexing Ovens are designed to provide the advantages of continuous
operation of a conveyor, along with the dense loading and the long dwell
time of a batch. The parts are generally loaded in baskets or
on trays and are indexed through the oven.
Pushers
The pusher
allows for loading while it is stationary. The pushers are often
hydraulic or electric, but can be powered
pneumatically for lighter loads. Pusher Ovens also permit you to
use the same racks or baskets used for storage, and eliminates
the cost of unloading and loading your product on a conveyor. And
yet, as with a continuous operation, the equipment, push or indexing
time, and dwell time can be designed to provide a constant flow
of parts for your production.
Indexing ovens are very common in aluminum processing,
for both solution heat treat and aging. Baskets of pistons, manifolds,
engine blocks, along with racks of wheels, are just some of the
items processed in indexing ovens manufactured by Wisconsin Oven.
Pusher
Ovens are often supplied with Quench Tanks or Cool Down Chambers,
which can also be supplied by Wisconsin Oven. Pusher equipment can also be designed
to change direction of the product flow at 90° right angles
for varied plant layouts with reduced floor space usage.
Supervisory
control and data acquisition systems (SCADA)
can be offered to store time/temperature
recipes and record & archive
process data.
