SHUTTLE TRAY OVENS:
Infrared shuttle tray ovens are typically used for automotive thermoforming applications, and their unique shuttle operation allows the operator to easily load/unload product. The ovens can relax and condition vinyl and other materials in a fraction of the time required by hot-air systems. Often purchased to improve productivity, they simplify handling by "shuttling" a warm sheet out with each cold sheet put in. The ovens feature continuous closed loop sensors to assure uniform temperatures. Advanced oven models incorporate an exclusive pneumatic "trap" to clamp the vinyl on four sides, thus preventing dimensional changes prior to forming. Common applications for shuttle ovens include: door panels, dashboards, steering wheel coverings, and arm rests. Manufacturers of air bag components use these ovens for pre-heating vinyl prior to vacuum forming. These ovens are individually engineered and built to the specific requirements of the application.

Shown here is an example of a Tray Oven System. This oven is designed to cure an adhesive coating on plastic interiors. It can be used for a variety of other applications. What makes this equipment so unique, is that it combines infrared with convection heat, allowing the user to choose infrared heat only, convection only, or a combination of both heat sources, for best results.
Below is an example of a Double Tray System. With two trays you can be loading and unloading a part while the other part is being heated inside of the oven. This design allows for a higher production rate. The trays are designed to be at the same location inside of the oven which will allow for consistent heat from part to part. We have designed a variety of trays that can be used for different products and the oven can be equipped with top and bottom heat. Free testing at our advanced lab will determine proper heating and tray design.
Note: All ovens can be equipped with Exhaust Blowers and VFD if required.
