Curing ovens are designed to cause chemical reactions. These reactions begin once a specific temperature is reached. The purpose is to cure a coating, adhesive or a product. To have a successful curing process, the size of the heat source and distribution of airflow need to be considered. A common use for curing ovens is powder coating.
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.
