WECO International builds a select number of research and development ovens to support client opportunities and advance specialized heat work solutions. Over the years, we have continued to refine our equipment and testing capabilities for modern industrial applications. In addition, WECO designs these ovens to help manufacturers evaluate materials and improve production processes before full-scale implementation begins.

Engineers and operators can use the ovens to measure several important process parameters during testing activities. These parameters include cycle times, cure characteristics, adhesion performance, flash off conditions, shrinkage behavior, and forming results. Furthermore, the ovens allow customers to evaluate other material-based factors that affect product quality and operational efficiency. Accurate testing data also helps manufacturers make informed production decisions and identify potential process improvements.

WECO develops its R&D ovens to deliver dependable performance and flexible testing capability under controlled operating conditions. As a result, customers can perform a wide range of experimental and developmental procedures with consistent results. The equipment supports both short-term testing projects and long-term process evaluation programs. Additionally, customers may purchase WECO research and development ovens directly for internal testing and analysis purposes.

WECO also provides technical services related to infrared testing and thermal process evaluation. Consequently, customers can gain a better understanding of heating performance, application requirements, and material behavior. Moreover, our engineering team remains available to help identify practical and effective heating solutions for specific operational needs.

WECO International can:

• Design and supply an oven test unit specifically for a process
• Supply off the shelf test units with interchangeable long, medium and short wave modules
• Design and build test ovens for contract testing by WECO’s R&D team or for purchase.
