An in-depth look at Lukas Anlagenbau GmbH's revamped horizontal IR sintering oven

Lukas Anlagenbau GmbH is a family-owned company known globally for its role in the wire and cable industry and regional partnerships in hydropower plants. The extensive range of products offered includes spinning lines for Glassfiber and Daglas lines, taping lines for special applications like mica taping, drawing machines, rewinding equipment, tinning units for copper wire, annealing units for non-ferrous metal and stainless steel, and various auxiliary equipment such as weighing, labeling, packing, and palletizing units.

Additionally, Lukas Anlagenbau GmbH specializes in the design and manufacturing of oven plants, accumulators, and offers upgrading/modernization services for existing machinery.

Among its impressive lineup of machinery, Lukas Anlagenbau GmbH has recently enhanced its horizontal IR sintering oven, addressing key concerns such as energy efficiency and thermal insulation. Notable improvements include the integration of new vertical sliding doors, facilitating ease of access and setup for machine operators.

A sintering oven is a type of furnace used to heat materials to a high temperature without melting them, causing particles to bond together. This process, called sintering, is commonly used in manufacturing to improve the strength, density, and other properties of several materials. Lukas Anlagenbau GmbH’s horizontal IR sintering oven is designed for a variety of applications, including sintering of insulated conductors such as PTFE and PI, drying oven for pre-varnishing and varnishing, and sintering in Glassfiber and Daglas lines. Featuring single or multi-pass operation, precise temperature control, and a relocatable furnace shaft, this oven offers exceptional flexibility and performance. Additionally, the sturdy design, viewing window options, and availability of one, two, or three-zone operation ensure versatility to suit diverse production needs.

Technical specifications:
- heated length: 1, 2, or 3 meters (3.28 ft, 6.56 ft, or 9.84 ft);
- heating power: up to 21.6 kW (max. 29.4 hp);
- maximum temperature: 700°C (1,292°F);
- one or multi-zone power control;
- wire diameter: up to 15 mm (0.59 inches).

Lukas Anlagenbau GmbH invites readers to explore its horizontal IR sintering oven and other innovative products by visiting its stand H12/B32 at wire Düsseldorf (April 15 - 19). The company's dedicated team is available to provide further information and assist with any inquiries, ensuring customers receive tailored solutions to meet their specific needs.
