With decades of experience developing robust, maintenance friendly and cost-effective ovens and thermal oxidizers, Epcon is uniquely capable of providing your new or replacement asphalt, rubber or roofing shingles operation.  Epcon also has experience in designing Thermal Oxidizers and Ovens for various other rubber products such as gloves, elastic material for apparel, and general rubber processing.  Ep...

As we move through the final quarter of the year, the overall health of the U.S. economy remains strong, demonstrating resilience in the face of global uncertainties. Notably, inflation is nearing the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%, which is a significant achievement for the Federal Reserve, reflecting the efficacy of its monetary policies in stabilizing the economy. Economic Landscape In August, the U.S. unemployment rate came in lower than anticipated, which created uncertainty among economists and businesses alike. This unexpected data prompted concerns that a recession might be imminent, as low unemployment can sometimes signal overheating in the economy. In reaction, the stock market experienced volatility, reflecting the collective anxiety about the possibility of an economic downturn. In response to these dynamics, the Federal Reserve acted decisively by cutting interest rates by 50 basis points, exceeding the consensus expectation of a 25 basis point cut. This larger-than-expec...

Epcon’s collaboration with industry leading Air Conditioning Evaporator and Condenser manufacturers is a perfect example of how Epcon’s attention to customers’ needs results in innovative and cost effective environmentally friendly solutions. When the   HVAC industry   was faced with the challenge of eliminating hazardous solvent based degreasing materials from their processes, Epcon worked closely with industry leaders, to develop an innovative and then patented   Thermal Deoiling   System. Not only did the system achieve the desired degreasing/deoiling and cleaning performance but, at a significant net operating cost savings. Epcon holds two patents:  Thermal Deoiling and Thermal Degreasing. As the first-choice equipment supplier to the Industry,we engineer integrated systems, incorporating  heat recovery  methods and thermal recycling, ensuring your process is optimized for efficiencies. With hundreds of units in the field around the world, Epcon no...

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 s...

There are various processes where temperatures and other operating parameters in the oven must be controlled accurately in real-time with minimal delays. Taking a metal curing process as a viable example, we must acknowledge that the production of adhesives or various polymers materials and their bonding to the metal surface is a highly temperature-sensitive process. The temperature affects the reaction kinetics and, more importantly, the atomic structure of the particular substance. The conversions of the atomic structure configurations occur at a specific temperature, and reaching the nearest temperature to target one is essential for manufacturing durable and high strength materials. One of the most troublesome issues in industrial ovens applications is maintaining the target temperature uniformly across all oven sections. The excessive production demands and the highest quality products are followed by overwhelming operating costs, especially in the aerospace industry. Manufactur...

Epcon Industrial Systems custom-designed and manufactured two batch ovens specifically for aging aluminum structural components for a Tier 1 automotive supplier. Each oven includes a multi-tiered rack system and has sufficient capability to heat 6,500 pounds of aluminum and 2,500 pounds of steel from 70°F to 400°F in under two hours while meeting the stringent temperature uniformity requirement of +/5°F. The ovens were also designed to meet CQI -9 requirements. Visit us https://epconlp.com for more information.

Aluminum Parts Drying Oven Dry-off or drying ovens are a critical final step in many production processes with temperatures that can range from just above ambient up to 1000°F. Utilized across a wide range of applications, these ovens are not only useful for simple dry-off requirements for parts production, but also used for more complex moisture reduction and sterilization processes with stringent temperature and uniformity ranges. Recently, Epcon designed a drying oven as part of a larger metal finishing system for a new facility for an Aluminum parts producer. Located at the exit end of the Washline, the oven dries the parts so they are ready for the final painting and curing stages. By utilizing advanced airflow management and comprehensive heat recovery methods, Epcon’s engineers were able to maximize the overall operating thermal efficiency. Integrating the drying ovens into the comprehensive system design allows for thermal recycling and greatly reduces fuel consumpt...
