HT433TUL P 480V 36KWIG

Posted on August 18, 2016 by jpwdesign

JPW recently provided a northeastern U.S. manufacturing company with a HT433, an inert gas unit capable of reaching 1200^oF. This oven is being planned for the use of heat-treating barrels for firearms by JPW’s client. Being an inert gas oven, this product showcases several unique features and processes.

This model is built to operate with a low-oxygen environment inside the chamber. By replacing the air with other gases during the process, the HT433 prevents fire hazards and preserves the quality of the products being treated inside.

The HT433 starts its heat-treating process by purging the chamber of oxygen. After switching to the process flow meter, heating begins. This model is also equipped with a ½ to 1 PSI leak point. This metal seated check valves release pressure when necessary to prevent over-pressurization during processing, providing a very safe and reliable inert gas oven.

JPW prides itself on the amount of repeat customers it maintains, like this one, and the relationships they are able to build with their clients. Businesses from around world enjoy working with JPW because of their level of quality and customization in industrial ovens. Remember JPW for your next industrial oven needs.

ST434 – Explosion-Proof Cabinet Oven

Posted on June 22, 2016 by jpwdesign

ST434 – Explosion Proof Cabinet Oven

The ST434 is one of the more unique models of oven that JPW has had the privilege to manufacture. This oven was designed and manufactured for a lab in California. It is a Class 1, Division 1 – Class 2, Division 1 rated cabinet oven and will be used for munitions testing. For this reason, it was built to be explosion proof earning a NRTL certification.

Receiving NRTL certification at JPW allows the chamber to be put directly into production for the client without external certification. JPW’s ability to certify these types of ovens saves time, and money, on the client’s end, allowing for faster installation of the unit.

This special cabinet oven has a solvent rated interior and with special attention given to a non-sparking interior design. It is engineered as a low-temp unit, operating at 250F or below. Another unique feature of the ST434 is the heater control. The sheath temperatures of the heaters are controlled so the interior of the unit cannot get hotter than the flashpoint of the materials contained. This is also known as Cascade Control.

This is truly a unique cabinet oven, requiring highly important specifications and safeguards. Not only is JPW proficient in meeting such customization requests but they also maintain high quality and safety levels as the unit passes dozens of engineer reviews before delivery. This ST434 is just one of three units JPW will be engineering for their client.

JPW has the knowledge, quality and engineering skill to create a solution for your industrial oven needs. Contact us today and speak to one of our friendly and skilled engineers to get the process going.

ST522 – Specialized Cabinet Oven

Posted on May 20, 2016 by jpwdesign

The ST522 cabinet oven was designed and manufactured for a power transmission company located in the North East with top-notch engineering and customization. It is a custom sized unit, specialized for customer integration.

This is a low-temp oven which operates at 250F and features a vertical lift door, combination airflow, custom mounted remote control apart from the unit and custom safety system on the oven door.

The combination airflow is optimized to enhance cycle times and make production as efficient as possible by utilizing two leading edges of hot air from the sides of the oven and returning to the top. The ST522 also has a remote control, per request, installed separate from the oven unit for custom mounting.

JPW worked heavily with their client to specially design the vertical lift door for the ST522. The door was designed to require the operator to have both hands placed on the controls before the oven can be opened. This extra feature ensures a much safer product and was a custom feature that JPW was happy to meet.

The ST522 is a highly-customized product, engineered specifically around the client’s requests. JPW was able to meet a wide variety of safety and size requirements and can do the same for your business.
