Burn-Off Construction
Steelman Construction Process
This is a Steelman Model # 101224BBR during all stages of production. It is unique for its size, 10' wide x 12' tall x 24' deep, but it is a good example of standard Steelman Burn-off oven construction. This oven is now being used to remove rubber from rollers.
| The frame is complete and the 3.5" refractory
floor has been poured over 1/2"ceramic fiber. The "grid"
that can be seen in the floor is 4" channel. |
 |
| Fourteen-gauge cold rolled steel is being used
to make the outer wall. |
 |
| The outer skin is complete. The three layers of
interior wall can be seen going up: pookie, tar paper (both for corrosion
protection), and 3.5" mineral wool insulation. |
 |
| The walls are complete. A 1" ceramic fiber
layer has been added and then protected by aluminized perforated steel. |
 |
| The doors have been hung, and the muscles of the
operation, the cast iron heating burners have been added to the left
side. The high-fire afterburner has been installed. The stainless
steel/ceramic fiber exhaust stack can be seen covered in white paper. |
 |
| The UL Listed control panel has been added and
the painter has had his turn with it as well. It is first covered
with a zinc rich primer and then finished with Steelman Tough Gray
enamel. Now off to the testing area! |
