industrial walk-in ovens

Horizon is a designer and manufacturer of industrial walk-in ovens, large-scale thermal processing chambers used in a wide array of industrial applications. These robust batch-style ovens are designed to withstand significant heat processing requirements for large, irregularly shaped, or multiple parts, accommodating material-handling equipment like hand trucks, racks, or carts for loading and unloading.

Industrial walk-in ovens are batch ovens, and they can be used for a wide range of heat processing purposes such as: aging, annealing, and tempering. Walk-in ovens have become particularly useful for curing materials like fiberglass and carbon fiber parts that are popular in the aeronautics and automobile industries. Their size and ability to accommodate large-scale parts makes this oven indispensable to these industries that commonly produce over-sized composite components.

INNOVATIVE CYCLONE TECHNOLOGY™ GUARANTEES EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS

At the heart of Horizon’s industrial walk-in batch ovens is the groundbreaking Cyclone Technology™. This technology optimizes airflow and temperature through high-volume, low-pressure air circulation, significantly enhancing heat transfer to the product and resulting in shorter process times.

The Cyclone Technology™ incorporates the following innovative features:

  • Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): Installed on all fan motors, these drives allow for comprehensive process control via human-machine interface (HMI) systems. Operators can monitor and adjust operating conditions in real time, adapting seamlessly to changes in product load.
  • Smart Control Systems: These systems enable operators to monitor, control, and adjust operating conditions dynamically, ensuring optimal performance even when production demands fluctuate.
  • Smart Cyclone Technology™ and Indirect Fired Heating: This technology allows for the reversal of recirculation airflow during the oven heating cycle, a feature particularly beneficial for sensitive production processes. Controlled by programmable logic controllers (PLCs), the air recirculation fans can reverse direction based on production requirements, offering additional process capabilities.

patented CYCLONE OVEN™ DESIGN saves energy and RESOURCES

Horizon walk-in ovens are designed for superior performance and sustainability. Key benefits include:
  • Performance: The Cyclone Technology™ ensures temperature uniformity, a critical aspect of the heating process. By increasing the volume of airflow and air changes within the oven, Horizon ovens achieve better temperature uniformity than conventional designs, in fact, the best in the industry. This results in higher product quality and consistency.
  • Resource and Energy Savings: Conventional ovens operate fans at high velocities, requiring significant motor horsepower and energy consumption. In contrast, Horizon’s Cyclone Technology™ achieves the same airflow at much lower velocities, reducing static pressure and motor horsepower by up to 80%. This leads to substantial savings in electricity costs and a significant reduction in the overall carbon footprint.
  • Sustainability: By using less energy and generating lower emissions, Horizon industrial walk-in ovens contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable environment. The design’s focus on efficiency and reduced resource consumption aligns with modern industrial sustainability goals.

HORIZON WALK-IN OVENS-ROBUST Construction, BUILT TO LAST

Horizon walk-in industrial ovens are constructed with durability and performance in mind. Key construction features include:
  • Exterior Construction: Fabricated from 3/16" plate and solidly welded, the exterior construction prevents heat loss through panel seams. This robust design meets NFPA guidelines for oven design and explosion-proof criteria.
  • Interior Construction: The oven’s interior is made from aluminized or stainless-steel sheet metal, offering enhanced durability and reducing the need for extensive external support structures. The internal ductwork not only recirculates air but also acts as a radiant heat shield, improving heat uniformity and product quality.
  • Insulation: Using non-settling rockwool industrial-grade insulation, the oven’s wall thickness varies depending on the maximum heat setting. This design ensures optimal heat retention and operator safety.
  • Modular Design: When expansion is in the future, Horizon’s ovens can be designed and built in a modular fashion, allowing for easier modifications to accommodate evolving production needs. This flexibility is ideal for growing businesses.
  • Customizable Accessories To enhance the functionality and safety of your walk-in oven, Horizon offers a range of accessories including but not limited to:
    • Roof safety railings
    • Access ladders
    • PLC controls
    • Roll-up doors (under 500 degrees F)
    • Thermal oxidizer
    • Thermal oxidizer with heat recovery
