Integrated Oven & RTO for Metal Processing Application
Project No 3700
The Challenge
A metal parts producer needed a new oven for the processing application as well as new air pollution control technology to ensure the new line was compliant with increasingly stringent EPA regulations.
The Solution
Epcon designed a high velocity, highly efficient conveyorized custom Oven to process various metal parts.
In addition, a 60,000 SCFM RTO was installed to control the air pollution, and also doubles as a heat supply back to the Oven’s multiple combustion chambers within the conveyor system.
The Results
The integrated system was full tested prior to shipment for 100% customer satisfaction. Once in operation the new line increased throughput capacity by 17% while also saving 82% of operating fuel with the thermal recycling between the RTO and Oven.
