• Low labour cost associated with automatic operation plus low fuel usage per cycle
ensures significant annual savings.
• Eliminates use of expensive cleaning chemicals, waste slurry disposal costs and
associated liability.
The burners on the Guspro heat cleaning ovens are sized to ensure that heavy loads are
brought to processing temperature fast. Depending on the oven model and site-specific loads,
the powerful standard refractory-lined oxidizer can process up to 70 pounds of combustibles per
hour once operating temperatures are reached. This amount may vary depending on the BTU
value of the combustible product being processed.
Note: The combustible load and cycle times are limited to the capacity of a given model’s
thermal oxidizer capacity. Extra heavy-duty or 100 pound afterburners are also
available as an option.
Heat passes from underneath the cart rack to heat the parts. This enhances temperature
uniformity in the process chamber while reducing energy consumption and cycle times.
The dry dust generated by the heat cleaning process meets stringent EPA solid waste
disposal standards (RCRA/SARA) and is easy to dispose of. A simple ash analysis on the dust
residue will determine if the dust requires special handling.
Tables 1.1 and 1.2 offer a summary of the type of automotive or industrial parts that can
and cannot be processed in the Oven.

Note: It may be necessary to use slower heat up and cool down rates on some
parts to prevent thermal distortion.
