1.0 - GUSPRO HEAT CLEANING OVEN
1.1 Introduction
The Guspro heat-cleaning oven is state-of-the-art technology that enables heat cleaning
of parts coated with grease, oil, paint, carbon, plastics and water scale. Materials that can be heat
cleaned include steel, aluminum, and cast iron.
Applications include:
• Paint or powder coating line fixtures such as hooks, trees, trays and baskets.
• Paint, grease and combustion contaminated automotive engine blocks, heads, cranks,
camshafts, brake parts, transmissions, power boosters and water pumps.
• Epoxy and varnish coated components such as electrical motor armatures, stators and
transformer cores.
• Reclamation of manufactured parts with reject or service damaged coatings.
• Precious metal recovery in photographic film processing, transistors, printed circuit
boards and personal computer board salvage.
• Polymer coated tooling screws, breaker plates, dies and screens.
Parts are protected from distortion by precise temperature controls and backup control and safety
systems. Further, the heat cleaning process has the following advantages:
• Controlled heat cleaning cycles coupled with an absence of direct flame on the parts
prevents distortion and warpage.
• Operations are improved with safe, fast and efficient cleaning.
• Automatic operation ensures minimal operator supervision.
• Automatic over-temperature suppression system automatically injects water mist in case
of a sudden temperature rise, ensuring that high tolerance steel parts, and even most
aluminum parts are safely heat cleaned.
• The typical cycle time is 1.5 - 4.0 hours. Short cleaning cycles limit the exposure time of
parts to temperature, cut down fuel cost and provide fast turn around.
• Models are designed for at least two or three heat cleaning cycles per day, which is the
key to high efficiency and productivity.
• A platform cart is supplied. This ensures both a fast manual or optional lift truck loading
operation.
