What Is a Burn-Off Oven?
A burn-off oven (also known as bake-out oven) is an industrial oven designed to remove organic residues—such as paint, powder coating, rubber, grease, and insulation—from metal parts through controlled thermal decomposition. Rather than relying on solvents or abrasive methods, it uses high-temperature pyrolysis to convert contaminants into gaseous byproducts that are safely incinerated, leaving only clean metal surfaces.

Operating Principles
- Primary Heating
- The work chamber is heated—often via electric elements or gas burners (primary combustion) — to varying temperatures in a low-oxygen environment.
- Pyrolysis and Afterburning
- Decomposed vapors exit the main oven and enter a secondary combustion chamber (afterburner may vary) held at roughly 760 °C, or varying depending on customer requirements.
- Here, hydrocarbons oxidize to carbon dioxide and water vapor before release
Key Benefits
- Environmentally Safe
- Eliminates hazardous solvents and sludges.
- Built-in emission controls minimize VOCs and particulate release.
- Cost-Effective
- Reduces manual labor for part cleaning.
- Extends component lifespan by avoiding mechanical damage.
- Automated Operation
- Programmable cycles enable unattended processing.
- Digital controls maintain precise temperature profiles.
Typical Applications
- Automotive spareparts (engine blocks, brake assemblies)
- Plastic and rubber mold refurbishment
- Oil & gas tool and equipment degreasing
