oven temperature data loggers - data recorders

Elcometer Home Page

Once a product has been powder coated to the required thickness, it must pass through an oven. During this baking (or stoving) process the powder melts, flows, gels and finally chemically reacts and cures. It is critical to the coating’s final performance and appearance that both the temperature and the time at temperature parameters are controlled.

It is imperative not only to ensure there are no hot or cold spots within the oven, but also that the temperature of the product being coated is sufficient to meet the technical specification of the powder coating. Failure to maintain the correct temperature profile can cause problems in the final performance and durability of the coating.

Variation of the oven temperature profile between production batches may lead to changes in the final coating’s gloss, adhesion and colour. This can greatly affect the product’s quality and therefore could be the difference between success and failure.

Elcometer 215 Oven Temperature Data Recorder

The Elcometer 215 is an easy to use oven temperature data recorder which can be used to measure and record the oven temperature profile. Designed specifically for powder coating cure ovens, wet coating cure ovens, batch ovens and conveyor ovens, the Elcometer 215’s measurements, analysis and fully customisable report options generate tailor-made information about the curing processes. The data logger is fitted with a large display for easy menu-driven operation and an immediate display of the measurement results.

 

Elcometer 215 Ideal Finish Oven Logger Software

Ideal Finish is the most advanced temperature monitoring software package available. With two user levels, “Basic” and “Advanced”, Ideal Finish is an inexhaustible resource for both new and advanced Users. Used in conjunction with the Elcometer 215 oven logger, Ideal Finish allows line operators to print customised reports. Calculation functions and enhanced process files help you to make the correct decision, such as changing line speed or oven temperature.

 

Elcometer 215 Temperature Probes

All Elcometer 215 probes have been especially designed to guarantee accurate readings by having perfect probe-surface contact, low mass and optimised shape to avoid influence on temperature behaviour. The cables are supplied with easy to clean teflon outer shield and are both highly flexible - due to the twisted cable cores, and extremely strong due to the braided metal mesh armour.
