Model: EWR05ED – Composite Curing Oven

Operating Temperature 

150°F (66°C) to 500°F (260°C)

Heating Medium

Electric, low watt density Incoloy® heaters provide years of trouble free service.  Standard heater bank assemblies are installed in high velocity ductwork to maximize heat transfer.

Airflow Pattern

Dual (Combination) Airflow: Hot air is supplied from both of the side walls and returned through a top plenum.

Input Voltage

Standard: 480/3/60. Please consult factory for additional options.

Standard Composite Curing Equipment

• Thermocouple jacks
• Vacuum ports
• Vacuum pump

Control System

LEWCO’s composite curing control package includes a multiple recipe ramp/soak temperature controller, redundant high-limit controller, and multiple input data logger, which continuously records temperature and other process data. The data logger allows downloading of digital data files through USB or Ethernet connection. Circulation fan(s) and exhaust fan(s) include air proving circuits that are electrically interlocked with the heating circuit. All controls are housed in a NEMA 12 enclosure employing a full voltage lockable disconnect switch. Controls are wired to NFPA 70 and 79 electrical standards in our own UL508A certified panel shop. Independent third party inspections available.

Door Switch
Disables heat when door is opened on electrically heated ovens; holds burner at low fire on fuel-fired ovens.

Zero Speed Switch for Fans
Minimizes nuisance tripping associated with standard air flow switch(es).

PLC
Programmable Logic Controller for processes with numerous inputs and outputs; or requiring automation of material handling equipment. The PLC can also allow for Ethernet connectivity for remote system monitoring.

Touchscreen HMI
Human Machine Interface provides the operator easy access and control of different parts of the equipment. Allows real time monitoring and provides feedback of the process in a visual, easy to read format.

Note: Sizes are approximate. LEWCO, Inc. reserves the right to change specifications without notice.

Standard oven construction includes a 16 gauge aluminized steel interior with a 18 gauge cold rolled steel exterior. Heat loss is minimized by a unique wall design featuring a welded inner shell and a completely isolated outer frame and covers.

Doors

Heavy-duty doors on an isolated door frame minimize heat loss. Wire core gaskets create a tight seal for efficient heating. Standard doors are bi-parting swing at one end and include explosion venting latches.

     Standard Options:

• Vertical lift guillotine door
• Door windows

Flooring

Standard ovens include a 12 gauge steel plate floor.

     Standard Options:

• 12 gauge plate floor with (1) pair inverted angle track
• 12 gauge plate floor with (1) pair 6” wide wheel guides
• Insulated (100 p.s.f. max)
• Insulated with (1) pair inverted angle track
• Insulated with (1) pair 6” wide wheel guides
• No floor

LEWCO industrial ovens are designed and manufactured to industry standards. Our engineers regularly work to keep updated with the latest revisions in industry codes.

About NFPA 86

The National Fire Protection Association’s standard, NFPA 86, documents the guidelines for the safe operation of industrial ovens and furnaces. All LEWCO ovens are designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of this standard. Oven and furnaces in which flammable volatiles or combustible materials are present in the work space are classified by NFPA 86 as “Class A.” Similarly, ovens and furnaces in which no flammable volatiles or combustible materials are present are classified as “Class B.” Due to the risk of fire or explosion, NFPA 86 requires specific safety equipment for all Class A ovens and furnaces. Fuel gas-fired ovens and furnaces also require safety equipment.

• Powered exhaust of capacity determined by maximum solvent loading.
• Explosion relief of adequate area determined by oven or furnace workspace volume.
