Problem
Slow Line Speed
The existing method of heating the aluminium in a gas-fired convection tunnel limited the line speed to 50 feet (15.2 meters) per minute.
Poor Quality
The existing heating method resulted in stress marks and other imperfections in the bent aluminium parts.
Excessive Scrap
An excessive number of parts (five percent) had to be scrapped due to the poor bend quality achieved with the existing heating method.
Solution
Heat
A Model 4554-A-10-06 High Density Pyropanel was used to heat the aluminium to the proper temperature (above 235F [113C]).
Power Control
A Model 664F Phase Angle SCR Power Controller controlled the power to the heater.
Benefits
Increased Line Speed
Line speed increased to 95 feet (29 meters) per minute using the High Density Pyropanel.
Improved Quality
Heating the aluminium with the High Density Pyropanel eliminated the stress marks and other imperfections in the bent aluminium parts.
Reduced Scrap
The scrap rate was reduced to less than one percent with the new heating system.
