CAAB

New “Energy Saving” CAAB Design

Patented design offers up to 40% overall energy savings in normal production

Production Improvements

• Long ramp-up to operating temperatures has been greatly reduced – equipment can be operational in only 3 hours from cold start.
• The complete line is suitable for large or small product.
• Nitrogen usage is comparable with traditional designs, as are oxygen ppm and component finish.

• Internal stainless steel shroud has been extended beyond the braze zone, to ensure all flux activation is completed within the shroud.
• Curtains at either end help maintain low oxygen levels, even with low nitrogen consumption.

Maintenance Improvements

• The muffle has been eliminated – no hump clean out due to flux build-up under the belt.
• Multiple access doors provide easy entry into the equipment.
• Heating elements can be changed quickly and easily, without shutting down the line.
• The equipment can be started up or shut down without supervision.

• Smaller substation and cabling costs reduce the overall installation costs.
