Refurb for box oven

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."
