Simultech supplies VDU / VDL continuous ovens from vötschtechnik (Weiss Technik), engineered for integration into automated production lines. These conveyor ovens deliver uniform, reproducible heating and curing for high-throughput processes across aerospace, plastics, and other industries.
1. Modular design for flexible length and zone control
2. Multiple heating methods: convection + infrared combinations
3. Custom conveyor integration (roller, chain, lift tables, vacuum docking, etc.)
4. Process monitoring with SIMATIC / S!MPAC control systems
5. Uniform air guidance for consistent heating results
6. Industry-proven in aerospace composite curing, plastics melting, and more
• Aerospace composites (preform curing, component heating)
• Plastics industry (melting, conditioning in barrels or containers)
• Automotive & electronics (curing, drying, annealing)
• Large component thermal treatment in continuous flow
The Vötschtechnik VDU / VDL continuous oven systems are engineered for reliable and uniform heat treatment in automated production environments. Designed with a modular layout, these conveyor ovens can be configured for multiple temperature zones and heating methods, including infrared and convection.
Each oven integrates seamlessly into production lines for drying, curing, and annealing applications across aerospace, automotive, plastics, and electronics industries. Precision process control via SIMATIC / SIMPAC systems ensures consistent results and full traceability for quality assurance.
With operating temperatures up to 200 °C, the VDU / VDL range offers high throughput, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability. These industrial conveyor ovens deliver excellent temperature uniformity and can be customised for specific product dimensions and process times, making them ideal for continuous composite curing or component preheating applications.
