Self-Clean Package Retrofit



International Thermal Systems (ITS) offers its Self-Cleaning Retrofit that is designed to address the problem of severe buildup of lead oxide, which can deteriorate the performance of an existing conveyor belt oven.

"Lead oxide reduces the equipment's ability to dry and requires increased temperatures to perform to specifications," said a company spokesperson. "By returning the conveyor belt through the bottom of the lower supply duct with this retrofit, the duct remains clean and clear of lead oxide build up. This also eliminates the need to physically clean the lower duct doors individually."

According to the company, ITS' simple Self-Cleaning Retrofit for existing conveyor belt ovens and flash drying ovens is safer, saves time, money and energy.

The retrofit package includes:

  • Reduction in oven temperatures by up to 60 °F
  • Reduces facility energy and maintenance costs
  • Quality of production improved due to consistency of temperature
  • Conveyor belt returned below the oven
  • Reduces energy consumption
  • Reduces the time required to perform maintenance
  • Enhanced Employee Safety
  • Reduction in airborne lead oxide particles with optional vacuum connection
  • Custom Engineered Kit helps ensure existing system architecture and operation are retained.
