Blasdel Enterprises designed and built an oven for annealing plastic on interior door parts, to hold dimensional tolerances.  After extensive testing in our test facility, utilizing medium wave infrared and high volume air ovens, it was determined that the high volume air oven returned the best results.  The part was difficult because there were multiple types of material that reacted with heat at different temperatures.  When testing in the infrared oven, some areas melted and other areas did not reach the 200 degrees F needed to maintain the tolerances.  While utilizing our high volume air oven test set, we held the part at the necessary temperature with very little fluctuation in part temperature.

HY-Vol Oven – High Volume Air

Even air flow within the oven is recirculated to reduce heat loss thereby, adding to the energy efficiency of the plastic annealing oven and conveyor system. The oven is built with an integrated conveyor which automates the process.  Design and construction of the conveyor has been modified to align with the customer’s current conveyor system.  Doors allow maintenance of the oven and to access parts, if necessary.  The control panel mounts on the oven, which makes this one piece design easy to install for the customer.

As a result of the success of this oven, the customer is working with Blasdel to add more of our equipment to their facility for other processes.  Testing in our facility will determine the best infrared and/or air recirculation process for their parts.  Contact us if you would like to run some tests in our facility.
