This is a listing of some of our oven projects.

Controller replacement of a Grieve Cure Oven in Illinois

We recently finished replacing the broken controller/chart recorder on this oven. It is am HY-850 Grieve Cure oven used at a paint manufacturing facility in Illinois. We installed a Honeywell UDC-2800 and adjusted oven settings. We also fixed some ignition problems and did a training session with the employees. You can find a quick video here.

Yearly inspection of Bayco oven in Northern Indiana

Each year we do an inspection of these two ovens at a motor rewinder in Indiana. The smaller one is a Bayco BB-26 and the larger one is a Bayco BB-150. Why there is no certification process for burn off ovens we check to see if it is working as well or better than the oven manufacturer intended. We check each of the safeties, clean electrodes and flame rods, and make sure that the temperature control devices work properly. We make any other necessary adjustments.

Ignition problem with a Pollution Control Products oven in Illinois

Fixed an ignition problem on this Pollution Control Products oven in north central Illinois. This is a PRC-177 PCP oven. It is at a powder coating operation. There was a problem with the transformer on the Incinomite burner. It had been replaced but slipped out of place and shorted out. We also improved the grounding on the spark electrode.

Training and Evaluation of ACE burn off oven in Iowa

We evaluated and had a training session with the maintenance department with this RKG-245 ACE burn off oven at a plastics factory in Des Moines, Iowa. There were a few water valves that needed to be repaired and some slight adjustments on the oven.

Temperature evaluation of a ACE burn off oven in Texas

Evaluated the temperature uniformity of an large ACE burn off oven in Texas. It was at a motor rewinding shop. We temporarily installed six thermocouples to assure that the temperature in the oven was uniform. We also rewired and reprogrammed the water spray to cool the oven when the parts themselves went over temperature.

Updating Fireye controls on Bayco burn off oven and cure oven in Illinois

Installed a new Fireye and new UV detectors on Bayo ovens. This was at an electric motor rewinding shop in Illinois. The existing fireyes were very old and the UV detectors were not only very old they were also very dirty. They were basically replaced for safety reasons before they could cause a problem. Here is a video to show what we did.

Bayco oven burner repair – replacement of pilot tube in Indiana

Replaced a damaged pilot light burner tube on a BB-150 burn off oven. Over the years it had corroded and had occasional problems lighting. Replacing the burner tube improved its performance. Here is what the burner tube looked like.

Re-insulation of Bayco burn off oven in Ohio.

Re-insulated a burn off oven at a induction heating equipment manufacturing company in Ohio. This is a Bayco BB-469. We did a complete replacement of the insulation of the oven. Here is a video of the complete job.
