Drying ovens are designed to remove moisture (typically water or a solvent) and are sometimes known as kilns. These ovens, however, do not reach the same temperatures as ceramic kilns but are typically used for pre-treating and painting.
Composite curing ovens anneal, cure, dry and harden composite and synthetic materials. Primarily driven by the aerospace and aircraft markets, these ovens are commonly used to process and manufacture parts from landing gear to fuselage to wing sections. Most composite curing applications are unique.
