Box oven configurator
Describe one batch, the trolley or hangers it rides on, and the cure you need. The configurator sizes a box-type curing oven around the batch, works out the heating power for the heat-up time you accept, checks the cycle against your output, and draws it in 3D. Download the model as STEP for your CAD system, or send the oven to a quote.
Set the batch, the loading, the heating and the cure. The oven is sized, checked and drawn again as you change each value.
Describe the oven
Say what goes into the oven in one batch: its size, the steel mass, how many parts, trolley or hanger bars, and the output you need per shift. The assistant sizes the oven, runs the checks and explains what it assumed.
The design assistant is not connected on this copy of the site. The oven below is live: change it with the form to see the checks and the 3D model change.
The 3D view needs WebGL and access to cdn.jsdelivr.net. The tables below still show the whole design.
Common questions
What do I need to enter?
The size of one batch with its trolley or rack, the weight of steel in it, how many parts it holds, the energy source (electric, natural gas, LPG or diesel), and the cure temperature from your powder data sheet. Add the room's free length, width and height to check the fit. Add the parts per shift to have the output checked.
Why does the heat-up time change the heating power?
The steel in a batch needs a fixed amount of heat to reach the cure temperature. Accept a longer heat-up and a smaller heating unit is enough; ask for a shorter one and the power rises, until thick steel cannot heat up any faster.
How many parts does the oven cure in a shift?
Each batch takes the reload time, the heat-up and the hold at cure temperature. The configurator counts how many batches fit in your shift and multiplies by the parts per batch.
How exact is the result?
It is a first sizing from the same rules our engineers use. The final design is set in the proposal, after we have seen your parts and your room.
What can I do with the 3D model?
Turn it, view it from above or from the side, look inside, and download it as a STEP file for your CAD system. Trolleys, racks and parts are not drawn.
Have the oven checked against your batches
Send the oven with photographs of the parts and the rack or trolley. We reply with a sized proposal, or with the reason the oven should change.
