High-efficiency, low-energy industrial ovens, furnaces and washers
CAMX 2023: International Thermal Systems (ITS) offers a range of equipment that maximizes manufacturing efficiencies and minimizes energy consumption that include OOA composite curing ovens.
International Thermal Systems (ITS, Wauwatosa, Wis., U.S.) is a global OEM offering industrial ovens, furnaces and aqueous washers for applications in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, power generation, battery manufacturing, building products, foundry and metal packaging industries. ITS is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wis., U.S. with manufacturing facilities located in Milwaukee and Shanghai, China.
ITS says its goal is to help maximize manufacturing efficiencies and minimize energy consumption. Equipped with proprietary technologies, the company works with customers to meet precise heat processing and aqueous washing requirements. ITS notes patents awarded for ingenuity in process dryers, airflow circulation and product transfer applications.
ITS provides support from design to installation and throughout the life of the equipment. Its customer support services team provides parts and service support including audits, retrofits, assessments and maintenance.
ITS features its composite curing ovens, which are capable of curing high-strength, low-weight carbon fiber materials. A patented thermal airflow design achieves temperature uniformity and state-of-the-art technology monitors, controls and manages the challenging composite curing process.
To get started, ITS recommends collaborating with its research and development team, engineers and application specialists to develop a custom design that meets all requirements. Its team will present the proposal and design, discuss an modifications or enhancements. Final drawings are approved and the team will begin engineering and manufacturing the customer solution.
