Thermoforming Ovens

Infrared stack furnaces, robots, press, and controls. Process is heat forming PEEK and other composite aerospace components.

Infrared Heating Technologies (IHT) designs and manufactures Infrared and Infrared Convection Combination Thermoforming Ovens custom designed for each unique process application. Thermoforming ovens are used in aerospace for composite press forming, and automotive for composite press forming, fuel line forming, interior components forming, and a host of other thermoforming processes.

The following lists some of the many thermoforming process for which our infrared heaters and furnaces have been implemented
