Infrared heating cabinet for sheet materials, with rotatable material cart

Heat plastics in a manner appropriate for the material – quickly, evenly and energy-efficiently.

The top model scores points for well-thought- out solutions in every detail. In particular, the rotatable material cart and the sensor integrated into model 701E40=S guarantee optimal user convenience.

The material cart can be rotated 180° in one easy step. The plastics are warmed either on the Teflon-coated work surface or the practical rack with space to fit 3 vacuum forming frame sizes. If the user wants, the integrated sensor measures exactly how deep the material is sagging in the oven. Optical and acoustic signals notify the user when the pre-defined sag depth has been reached.

Rotatable material cart

The material cart can be rotated 180° in one easy step. The plastics are warmed either on the Teflon-coated work surface or the practical rack with space to fit 3 vacuum forming frame sizes.

Control box with PID Controler and touch panel

The infrared oven is controlled by a touch panel for easy operation. In addition to a temperature indicator with setpoint and actual value, it includes a programmable timer function. The control box can be easily dismantled and replaced with a spare control box if servicing is required. This allows the downtime of the heating cabinet to be kept to a minimum.

Mobile material cart

The material cart is mobile to allow for easy transport of the heated thermoplastics to the vacuum forming station.

Sliding door

The infrared oven is equipped with a sliding door, which saves space when opening and closing the oven. The door also features three windows which allow monitoring of the material during heating.

Sensor for measuring how deep the material is sagging in the oven

A Sensor is measureing how deep the material is sagging in the oven and informs you when the pre-defined sag depth has been reached (onöy 701E40=S). An optical and acoustic signal indicates when a previously defined height has been reached.

Infrared heating

Higher productivity with infrared ovens

Infrared ovens are the first choice when plastics need to be heated in the orthopaedic workshop.

The way they work makes the difference: In conventional convection ovens an object is heated by absorbing ambient heat in a closed compartment. In contrast, the heat in an infrared oven is generated in the form of electromagnetic waves absorbed by the material directly. This has many advantages: Higher speed, greater productivity and a significantly greater energy efficiency are the result.

Heat more quickly – consume less energy

An Ottobock infrared oven heats plastics in a very short time. A 4 mm thick polypropylene sheet can be heated in just 4 to 6 minutes. Infrared ovens do not need to be pre-heated – the radiant heat is fully available in an instant. This significantly reduces energy consumption in the orthopaedic workshop.
