ovens for post cure
OVENS FOR POST CURING/AGING
Cure/Post-Cure Ovens
Curing ovens can be of two types: long
ovens with internal
conveyors or cabinets.
In the case of many heat-resistant
rubbers, such as silicone and fluorocarbon rubbers
it is necessary to supplement
the press cure with an oven post-cure to eliminate
residues from peroxides
and to complete vulcanisation. Cabinet type ovens are generally used. The gases emanating
from the components must be evacuated
from the oven during the post-cure cycle. Accurate
maintenance of the
temperature over the extended post-cure
cycle is vital and adequate internal
air circulation amongst
the component load is required. It is usually necessary to treat the evolved gases to prevent emission of noxious materials to the atmosphere
Ageing Ovens
Ageing Ovens
Ageing ovens are similar in nature to post-cure ovens requiring very accurate temperature
control systems and monitoring for volume throughput of circulating
air to ensure compliance
with the requirements of specification testing.
