Die Ovens
Belco Die Ovens are available in top-opening chest type or roll-out drawer type designs.
Infrared chest-type die oven
The Belco Infrared, Chest-type Die Oven, is designed for heating one (1) single (die/tool) in one (1) compartment, top-loading electric heated, with one (1) top-opening manual door.
Infrared heating gives the extrusion process a faster option to just-in-time orders, numerous die changes or emergencies due to unexpected problems. This Die/Tool heating method offers more uniform metal temperature throughout the Die/Tool allowing the billet to start pushing with less force.
Age and/or annealing ovens
- Belco Age Ovens offer properly directed high volume air flow for minimal heat up time and maximum uniformity of temperature from load to load.
- Designs can be Single End Flow, Dual End Flow, Cross Flow, Reversing (Single End Flow or Cross Flow)
- Automatically programmed controls can allow the oven to operate during off shifts.
- They can be operated with gas or electricity.
- Programmable logic control is available, as well as racks, carts, and load/unload systems.
- Annealing capabilities are available on all designs.
ASTM B918 and CQI9 Rated Ovens.
Die oven FAQs
What die oven designs does Belco offer?
Die ovens are available in top-opening chest type or roll-out drawer type designs. The infrared chest-type oven heats one die or tool in one compartment, top-loading and electrically heated, with a top-opening manual door.
Why choose infrared die heating?
Infrared gives the extrusion process a faster option for just-in-time orders, frequent die changes, or emergencies caused by unexpected problems. It also produces more uniform metal temperature throughout the die or tool, which lets the billet start pushing with less force.
Does Belco build age and annealing ovens as well as die ovens?
Yes. Belco age ovens deliver high volume airflow for minimal heat-up time and uniform temperature from load to load, in single end flow, dual end flow, cross flow and reversing designs, with annealing capability across all of them. They can run on gas or electricity, and programmable controls can operate them during off shifts.
What standards are Belco age and annealing ovens rated to?
ASTM B918 and CQI9.
