Even Industrial Electric Ovens Needs TLC(tender- love -care) For A Long Life!
by Yancy Butler Savage Engineered EquipmentIndustrial
electric ovens just like any
other industrial equipment are prone to breakdowns if not properly taken care
of and these breakdowns are quite an expensive one. In order to enhance the
life of the thermal components, lessen the frequency of shutdowns, and
prolonged the oven service life, regular preventive maintenance is required.
At present,
there are several types of industrial electric
ovens models are existing in the market and the maintenance
checklist(includes timeframes like a monthly checklist or weekly and shift checklist)
cannot be same for every model but there are few specifications which are
common to almost any type of industrial oven. They contribute to the great
extent for the working of the ovens and needs to be maintained:-
Air Pressure
Switches and Airflow:- You
are required to check the air pressure switches on a weekly basis to fix the
pressure settings because these switches impact the efficiency of the oven.
When you wish to replace them, you must follow manufacturer instructions.
There will be a
change in the overall temperature profile of the oven and can lead to certain
catastrophic consequences if airflow of the oven is restricted. You should make
sure that components like a duct, oven chamber, and ventilation must be in a
healthy state to avoid failure of several parts due to overheating.
Power Supply:- In the case of Industrial electric ovens, one
should carefully supply power within certain limits to avoid overloading of
control devices and transformers. Even the under voltage can cause operational
failure of many essential components.
Control
devices:-If you invest your time and efforts
in conducting periodical checking/replacement of control devices and auxiliary
parts, you will get a prolonged and efficient working life of overall oven. You
should check that there is not any uncontrolled power supply to the oven due to
contact welding (when arcing causes pitting or due to any other reason).
Connectors or
Sensors:-The thermocouples and sensors life
rely on the overall operating environment and temperature. Proper and
periodical replacement of sensors and thermocouples can avoid damaging of
products inside the oven. This step will make sure that sensors do not fail to
respond.
