Electric Oven
Ovens that are powered by electricity are alternatives to gas, propane, steam and oil powered ovens for industrial applications. These heating systems are mostly used for curing, demoisturizing and drying applications, and are not able to reach extreme high temperatures. They are a type of infrared oven, which uses radiant temperatures to heat the object rather than the air within the oven. They are much more energy efficient and have become the most popular type of oven to use for curing, heating and drying processes like pre-heating, glass processing, powder coating, paint drying and food baking. They are used by the food processing, laboratory research, medical, chemical, manufacturing, finishing and pharmaceutical industries.
Electric ovens, which are the most common kind of infrared ovens, behave very similarly to household microwaves. Instead of heating the air inside the oven which then heats the objects inside, infrared radiation is transferred into an object by an electrically heated flat panel emitted beam, which is powered by electricity. They mostly have housings made of strong metal like stainless steel and vary in shapes and forms according to their different functions. Industrial batch ovens are often powered by electricity and can hold large amounts of certain products, usually baked goods. Electricity is also used in industrial curing ovens, where powder coatings are heated and undergo a chemical reaction which produces a strong, resistant colored coating.
