Conveyorized Oven for Continuous Web Processing Applications Featuring 5 Levels and 15 Zones

A Web processing operation needed a more efficient system for creating welding wire and rubberized elastic material, in a continuous web-form. Epcon designed and built a unique Conveyorized Oven for this web-processing operation, with adjustable speeds for various parts of the conveyor belt. The complex oven was equipped with 15 zones, across 5 levels and features sophisticated airflow dynamics between the 5 levels with 15 burners strategically placed in individualized heating chambers. The Oven also supplies indirect heat for the curing process at a later stage in production. The compact design and thermal recycling of the system allowed for a more efficient operation, saving on fuel consumption, while also allowing for increased throughput production of continuous web formations. Over the years, Epcon has designed and built several multi-level Ovens, for various applications, which are successfully operating around the world.

Q1 2023: CEO Business Insider

Image
Epcon has been fortunate to have several major projects, which have carried forward into 2023. And, we are sufficiently busy, with a backlog of 6+ months. While I tend to be an eternal optimist when it comes to the economy, and business outlook in general, there is a lot of grim news surrounding the financial sector due to inflation and the Federal Reserve raising interest rates. Now we have a new phenomenon to deal with – the banks.   The fault line or the weakness of the banking was totally predictable. I do not know how and why the financial experts and the bankers could not see the problems with the hundreds and billions of dollars for loans at near 0% interest rate, for the past few years, and now the cost of money lending is up to 5-7%. And the big banks will need to bail out these smaller and weaker banks, and the US government will have to bail out the bankers. This bank failure cannot be ignored nor slid under the rug. While global supply chains are gradually improving,
