Pusher Ovens, as with all Indexing Equipment, combines the advantages of a dense or compact load of a batch process, with the continuous production of conveyor equipment.

Also referred to as a Dog Beam conveyor oven, the parts are generally loaded in baskets or on trays, and are indexed through the oven.

Often used when parts are loaded in racks or baskets, the pusher allows for loading while it is stationary. The pushers are often hydraulic or electric, but can be powered pneumatically for lighter loads. Pusher Ovens also permit you to use the same racks or baskets used for storage, and eliminates the cost of unloading and loading your product on a conveyor. And yet, as with a continuous operation, the equipment, push or indexing time, and dwell time can be designed to provide a constant flow of parts for your production.

Pusher Ovens are often supplied with Quench Tanks or Cool Down Chambers, also supplied by Wisconsin Oven. Pusher equipment can also be designed to change direction of the product flow at 90° right angles for varied plant layouts with reduced floor space usage.
