BGK IR Smart Oven

Inside This Document

Two-page brochure for the BGK IR Smart lab oven — an electric infrared curing test oven designed to prove out coatings and processes in your own facility before committing to a production line. Independently controllable infrared heat zones and closed-loop temperature control deliver an accurate, repeatable test environment, generating the process-development data (cure profiles, dwell times, zone settings) that de-risks specifying a full-scale infrared curing system.

IR Smart Oven Electric Infrared Curing Solutions The IR Smart lab oven was designed to test your coatings and processes in your own facility. This oven will demonstrate the many benefits of electric infrared for drying and curing. BGK created the IR Smart lab oven to provide valuable data to aid in the process development and support of your infrared curing customers. The oven is designed to provide an accurate and repeatable testing environment. Primary Features: • Independently Controllable Infrared Heat Zones • Closed Loop Temperature Controls (PLC with operator interface screen) • Built-in Pyrometer Temperature Sensor (calibration panels included) • Four Modes of Operational Control • Pre-Mounted Exhaust Blower Optional Feature: • Smart Logger – allows creation of data files to store or print test data For Drying... Chromates Luburicants Phosphates Anti-fingerprint For Curing... Water-base Solvent-base Powder BGK Electric Infrared Benefits: • Direct Heat Transfer • High-Efficiency (short ovens and operatin ng costs) • Instant Heat Output Control • 0-100% Temperature Control • Separate Zones (flexibility and energy sa avings) • Self-Cleaning Interior • No Pre-Heat The IR Smart Difference • Control • Repeatability • ± 2% Temperature A Accuracy • High Efficiency Patent #6642486 IR Smart Oven Power/ Temp TEMP TIME Closed Loop Control Enter desired % power output and the desired panel temperature.
