Infrared oven height-adjustable material cart

The middle size in Ottobock's infrared oven series: The material cart offers a usable area of 920 mm x 720 mm.

The 12 infrared quartz tubes are equipped with single reflectors, which ensures uniform heating of the thermoplastic material. This makes it easy to shape and bend around edges and undercuts.

The opto-electronic sensor measures the surface temperature continuously: Thus the user has control of the degree of heating of the material at all times and can prevent overheating safely.

PID controller, temperature continuously adjustable from 30 °C to 250 °C
Mobile with 4 castors with brakes and with continuous height adjustment via gas pressure

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.
