Heat Tint Furnaces

After the removal of protective coatings using chemical stripping solutions, a standardized procedural requirement can be performed to determine and check that all previously applied coating deposits have been fully removed before proceeding onwards to further repair processing steps. Heat Tint ovens are routinely used to determine full and successful coating removal after chemical stripping operations and may also be routinely used to establish full coating coverage on part aerofoil surfaces after the application of Aluminized or Chromized coatings. This procedure is further used  to provide visual evidence of surfaces which have a manufacturing or repair requirement for no coating areas to be present such as blade root serrations.

Features

Heat tint furnaces

Electrons Heat Tint furnaces are electrically heated with fan assisted air circulation systems ensuring accurate temperature control and reliable results. Heat Tint ovens are additionally designed with accompanying and matched trolly loading systems which enables prepared parts (after grit blast procedures) to be loaded into pre heated ovens at specified temperatures and ensuring optimum and reliable results. Loading trolleys further assist with the safe removal of hot parts from the oven and in greatly accelerating non value adding cool down periods.

Extensive range, lots of control

Dependent on the specified Heat Tint procedure, Electrons Heat Tint ovens will typically function within a range of 400°C to 900°C and with full automatic control & temperature recording functionality as may be additionally required by some OEM’s.

All of Electrons Heat Tint ovens are supplied with comprehensive safety systems and meeting with all European safety legislation requirements and are ergonomically designed for ease of operator use and easily facilitating all maintenance tasks.
