Batch Ovens

INTEK’s custom industrial batch ovens are designed to enhance process heating applications for a diverse list of industries. As a leading industrial oven manufacturer, INTEK ovens built with a robust structural steel frame and 4-10 inches of high temperature insulation, to ensure durability and minimize energy use. INTEK’s rugged designs assure reliability and smooth operation for years to come.

INTEK offers a range of heating options to fit your needs. Gas and electric oven designs provide precision process heating. INTEK convection oven designs offer exceptional uniformity and INTEK IR ovens utilize INTEK’s proprietary flat panel infrared modular heaters to achieve faster cycle times with significant energy savings and a smaller footprint for reduced plant space required. INTEK’s industrial powder coating batch ovens deliver high-powered heating at a cost-effective rate, featuring time tested burner technology for safety and performance. For the ultimate flexibility, consider INTEK hybrid ovens, offering the advantages of combined electric and gas heating for the perfect balance of efficiency and control.

As an experienced industrial oven manufacturer, INTEK considers the specific airflow configuration and process control requirements to ensure each industrial batch ovens perfectly matches each application. This detailed approach guarantees precise and repeatable batch processing, optimizing production workflow and quality.

Manufacturing Process

1. Design and Engineering

INTEK Batch Oven manufacturing begins with understanding customer needs (temperature, size, output etc.). Engineer drawings translate these needs into the oven’s structure, heating requirements, controls, and safety. Finally, materials are chosen for durability and heat resistance based on the design.

2. Fabrication

Structural steel and metal sheets are cut and shaped for the oven using CNC fabrication equipment, then formed into the chamber and frame assembly. High temperature fiberglass, mineral wool and/or ceramic fiber insulation is added for heat retention and efficiency.

3. Heating System Integration

Depending on the specific application INTEK’s electric ovens utilize INTEK’s proprietary electric infrared modular heating elements, resistance air heaters, tubular heaters, or plug heaters.  INTEK’s gas fired ovens utilize gas catalytic infrared or direct or indirect fired gas burners.  When certain design applications benefit from the combination of both infrared and convection process heating methods, INTEK employs the Hybrid concept of oven design – utilizing both infrared and convection – gas or electric – for maximum control.

4. Airflow System Installation

Fans and Ductwork: A system of fans and ducts is installed to circulate air within the oven chamber and promote even heat distribution throughout the load. For irregular shaped objects, this method of combining the proper air temperature volume and direction are crucial for achieving consistent process results.

5. Control Panel & UI

INTEK is a certified UL 508A panel shop so each oven project receives individual attention regarding the proper electrical panel design including the controls and interactive displays required for safe operation and process monitoring.

6. Quality Control and Testing

Ovens are rigorously function tested prior to shipment to meet performance requirements, heat uniformly and necessary safety standards.

7. Shipment

After final assembly and final testing each INTEK oven is prepared for shipment using dedicated carriers. Whenever possible each INTEK oven is shipped fully assembled to minimize field installation problems.  Special attention is given to selective freight carriers with air ride suspension and retractable tarping to avoid superficial damage to the equipment.

Additional Notes:

Customization plays a significant role, with additional features like data logging, remote monitoring, and specialized material handling automation for loading/unloading can be incorporated based on customer needs.
