Wicket Ovens Making a Comeback
International Thermal Systems supplies curing ovens designed to cure coatings applied to one side of a tinplate, aluminum, or steel sheet.
International Thermal Systems (ITS, Wauwatosa, Wisc.) has the experience to design and manufacture a custom wicket oven to support your manufacturing needs.
The purpose of a wicket oven is to cure a coating applied to one side of a tinplate, aluminum, or steel sheet. The Wicket Oven derives its name from the wicket carrier that actually supports the non-coated side of the material in a vertical orientation while transported through each zone of the oven. Wicket ovens are engineered to accommodate various material sheet sizes, cure times, and temperatures.
ITS also designs and builds equipment that reduces energy use. For example, ITS manufactures wicket ovens with higher-density insulated walls. Adding thicker high density insulated walls has been shown to minimize shell loss by approximately 30%.
ITS wicket oven features Include:
- Provides the highest possible product quality
- Minimizes rejection rates and ghosting on sheet
- Lowers energy usage
- Minimized customer’s total operating cost
