vötschtechnik VTUT - Chest Ovens for Heating Up and Hot Storage
Heavy-Duty Heating & Storage for Large Components
The VTUT series from vötschtechnik (Weiss Technik) is designed for top loading and hot storage of large, heavy workpieces such as machine components, cast or welded parts, and composite builds.
This chest oven configuration allows access from above using lifting equipment, facilitating handling of parts up to 8 tonnes, lengths up to 10 m, and diameters to 1.8 m.
Key Features & Highlights
1. Nominal temperature: 350 °C — suitable for many thermal storage and preheating applications.
2. Top loading via crane or lifting gear — heavy parts can be placed inside from above.
3. Segmented sealing lids — to reduce heat loss when lid is open, the oven may include sectional covers for controlled opening.
4. Short warming-up times — engineered to heat faster despite large mass loads.
5. Broad applications:
• Heating / storage of large machine parts
• Temperature holding of castings or welded constructions
• Pre-heating for downstream processes
• Thermal ageing and curing of composite or plastic elements
Applications & Use Scenarios
VTUT chest ovens are ideal for processes involving large, heavy, or awkwardly shaped components where side or front door access would be impractical. Common use cases include:
• Heating or storing machine parts (e.g. pumps, housings)
• Preheating of cast or welded assemblies
• Thermal ageing or conditioning of large plastic or composite parts
• Holding parts at high temperature for staging before downstream processes
