Walk-in curing ovens, ready to quote.

ASC standardizes on Airtech L-series rotary-vane, oil-sealed pumps for aerospace vacuum. Each includes an exhaust filter, vibration isolators, and anti-suckback valve, and reaches 29.8 inHg (2 mmHg) at 60 Hz and sea level.

With VP2, the PC can run a single pump, both pumps, or auto-switch between them for balanced duty and redundancy.

Sizing

Our rule of thumb for composites is about 2 cfm per vacuum source line. A oven with 10 source lines gets an L25 pump rated at 20 cfm.

Transfer cart

Used on the shop floor to carry the load cart between the layup room and the oven. It has a handle, a pair of swivel wheels, and a lock that secures it to the oven while the load cart rolls in or out.

Load carts

Single-level carts roll on the oven rails (V-groove or channel) with an expanded metal or flat plate top. Multi-level carts stack tools and parts; a sales engineer will confirm your exact requirements.

ASC's plant runs on 480 V / 3-phase power, so for PW2 through PW6 we test the oven in-house on a rented diesel generator. The generator rental and slightly higher motor costs are priced into the project, so expect a small increase in price.

We use one of our preferred shippers, and the quote includes all costs and insurance. For ocean freight we can quote CIF port of entry or DDU to your factory. Because our standard markup applies, buying freight directly from a carrier will usually cost less.

The RG option covers offloading at your facility and rigging the oven into its final position, using our own crew plus local crane and rigging contractors as needed.

IN1: Installation assistance

Less expensive than full installation. One ASC expert works on site for a fixed number of days, with airfare, rental car, hotel, and subsistence included. Installation takes from 3 to 5 days for small ovens up to 5 to 6 weeks for large, complex units.

IN2: Full installation

All material and labor to install the equipment, including mechanical and electrical connections, crews, travel, lift equipment, and rental vehicles. It connects:

• Oven to compressed air utilities
• Vacuum vent to building vent or exterior

IN2 assumptions

• Water, compressed air, and utilities are within 10 ft of the oven

IN2 exclusions

Available separately on request:

• Transportation (TR) and startup and training (ST)
• Civil work: foundations, walls, and wall and roof penetrations and sealing

For small ovens and control systems, the engineer is typically on site for 5 days; larger ovens can take 2 weeks or more. The engineer validates every safety and functional system, runs tests to confirm performance against your requirements, and trains your engineers, operators, quality staff, and maintenance staff in programming, operation, and support. Training certificates are available on request.
