Vinyl sheets are placed on a tray screen and automatically indexed into the heat zone. At the same time the other tray indexes to the unload area. Heated vinyl is moved from the tray to the vacuum form tool, and a new sheet is loaded onto the tray. The Vinyl Preheating Indexing Oven consists of Fostoria 900 series sections utilizing gold anodized aluminum reflectors, containing either 4200 or 5600 watt quartz tubes. Dual stainless steel screens shuttle from the heat area to the load and unload areas.
Top heat is used for standard vinyl.
Top and bottom heat is applied to foam backed vinyl.
