Restoring classic cars is one of the most popular activities for fabrication and repair shops today. However, this can be a difficult task, as the cars need to have many original components.
One solution to this problem is to use components from an existing model. However, even this can be problematic. If the existing model has not been used for a while, the components will be caked with grease, dirt, and oil. A component in such a state will not be fit for use. However, this can be resolved by using a burn off oven. Burn off ovens are specifically designed to burn away elements such as grease, dirt, paint, and oil from automotive parts. This allows shop owners to be able to reuse an old component for a restoration project.
How is this Done?
The burn off ovens used for this task comprise a stainless steel radiant tube, which provides uniform heating. The tube covers the entire bottom of the oven. The components are placed on a metal cart, and are wheeled into the oven. The afterburner operates at provides heat above 1500°F. This helps to eradicate any contaminants present on or within the component.
Ancillary Benefits of Burn off Ovens
The ovens also provides other advantages to users:
- The afterburner also consumes smoke and any hazardous fumes. Thus, the oven provides a safe operation for users.
- The ovens can be designed with water suppression systems. These can help control any fires or flare-ups during the burn off process.
- The oven provides uniform heat, without any hot or cold spots. Thus, every inch of the component is heated.
- The lack of hot or cold spots also means that multiple components of different sizes can be cleaned at the same time.
Burn off ovens is the best solution for cleaning automotive parts. They can be used to clean parts such as wheels, casters, brake shows, complete engines, and clutch linings. These ovens can help restore an old component to renew classic automobiles.
