Gas Fired Oven

Industrial ovens can be powered by two types of gas, natural gas or propane. As its name suggests, the first option is naturally occurring, while propane is usually a byproduct of refined natural gas. Natural gas is generally cheaper than propane, though fuel prices vary by geographic location. Using natural gas does require installing gas lines in your manufacturing plant, but this upfront expense is often compensated for over time by the cheaper cost of natural gas. Propane is more energy efficient than natural gas, with a quantity of propane holding about 2.5 times the energy as the same volume of natural gas. Because of this, industrial ovens can be run using propane tanks instead of utility lines.Gas ovens are particularly useful for heating certain types of products. For example, gas industrial ovens can be used to manufacture many different kinds of automotive parts such as brake pads and linings. Gas-fired industrial ovens can also be used to cure the coatings on various steel parts and even the carpet for the car’s interior. Gas ovens are also extremely useful for part casting. For example, our DTI-1096 batch oven is used to preheat steel molds used in the automotive industry, and the DTI-782 drying conveyor oven removes water from cast ceramic parts. While it may seem a bit ironic, gas industrial ovens are sometimes used to heat electrical parts. For instance, batch ovens can be used to dry the copper windings used in large electrical transformers or to cure the varnish on stators used to manufacture electrical generators. gas ovens are excellent fit when your product needs to reach a high temperature quickly or maintain that temperature for a long time. Gas industrial ovens can even save you money in the long run due to the relatively cheap cost of gas.
