Refurb for box oven January 1st 2010 The benefits of gas process
air heating systems from
Lanemark International are
proving a key element in the
high quality production
processes operated by
Precision Aircraft in Reading.
The company turned to
Lanemark to optimise its
oven heating capability
which operates in
conjunction with its wet
paint processes.Work has
been centred on refurbishing
an existing oven which has
helped keep down project
costs while helping the
manufacturer meet specific
production parameters
required by many of its clients.
Using natural gas, a
220kW Lanemark FD-E
forced draught burner system
has been installed on a box
oven at the site which
handles a range of product
designs and materials, from
aluminium and steel to
copper and brass. All are
subjected to highly accurate
temperature control allowing
optimum quality to be
achieved for each component.
Lanemark's Process Burner
Division general manager,
Adrian Langford, says: "The
accuracy of the system has
enhanced Precision Aircraft's
ability to provide components
using specialist materials
such as Xylon where
particularly high drying and
curing temperatures are
needed. Because approvals
and traceability are vital parts
of this industry, we have also
connected the burner system
to a data recorder, allowing
the organisation to provide a
hard copy of each heating
operation for their
customers' records." More articles from Lanemark International Limited: |
