Oven Projects Across America
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-lining of a ACE oven in a western suburb of Chicago
We re-insulated an ACE burn off oven at a powder coater near Chicago. We used a stainless steel liner rather than a regular steel liner because there is less expansion and contraction of the metal and it will last longer on the walls of the oven. You can see more of this oven here.
Startup of Bayco/Guspro oven in west suburb of Chicago
Set up a Bayco/Guspro BB404836 burn off oven at a sintered products company in a western suburb of Chicago. They are using it primarily to remove residues from lapped parts. This video describes how the burn off oven works.
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.
Re-insulation of a Pollution Control Products oven in Dallas TX.
Pollution Control Oven PTR-243. It was exceptionally hot in Dallas when we re-lined this oven. It was like working in an oven.
Re-insulation of Pollution Control Products oven in Mississippi.
We did a good job on this oven at a motor rewinding shop in Mississippi. It took a long time because there was a lot of metal that needed to be replaced. It is very important to repair and holes in the wall of a burn off oven. A pollution control oven has several layers of insulation that need to be put on properly.
Startup of a Bayco/Guspro oven on the south side of Chicago
A powder coater on the south side of Chicago replaced their old Pollution Control oven with a new Bayco/Guspro oven. This is used to strip powder paint from paint racks at a manufacturing company.
Re-insulation of Bayco oven in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Beautiful Hawaii has burn off ovens. We traveled to paradise to reline this Bayco oven.
Evaluation and adjustment of Steelman burn off oven in Texas.
Repair of Bayco oven in Kentucky.
We repaired controllers on two Bayco burn off ovens in Kentucky. This was at a motor rewinding company. We removed the API and Jewel style controllers and replaced them with UDC-2500’s.
Re-insulation of Bayco BB-42 near Chicago.
Repair of ignition problems on Guspro oven in Iowa
Repaired this Guspro GO-3012418 oven. It has an extremely long process chamber. The racks that it burns off are ten-feet long. There was a lot of corrosion in the oven. There was corrosion on the burner head itself and needed to be replaced.
Repair of Bayco BB-266 in Minnesota
Solved some controller problems and discovered a wiring problem that caused the afterburner to turn itself off at times.
Repair of Partlow controller on old Steelman cure oven in Chicago
1960 and 1970 era Partlow controllers operate by a mercury expansion tube. We fixed this old Partlow controller at a Steelman cure oven in Chicago. This was at a motor rewinding shop.
