Modular U-Turn Garment Curing Oven
Available in Gas or Electric Heat

The VCO Series U-turn garment curing ovens are the perfect fit for high volume industrial garment manufacturing applications. The U-turn configuration allows for higher production within a relatively small footprint while containing the heat and controlling the airflow more efficiently.

As the leading innovators in garment curing oven design and construction, Leonard Automatics, Inc., works hard to continually improve our products. It is our goal to provide you with equipment made from the highest quality materials and components so you can be assured the equipment you purchase will provide years of trouble-free service.

Since we first began offering our VCO Series U-Turn curing ovens in the mid 1980s, they have become the standard against which all other high capacity curing ovens are rated.

In 1999 an important feature was added to the VCO Series U-Turn Curing Oven… expandability! With our patented process, your new oven will grow as the demands of your business grow. With Leonard Automatics as your partner, you will never out-grow your investment. Your new VCO Series oven could be the last oven you ever buy.

Just like everything else we build, the VCO Series Curing Ovens are constructed of stainless steel panels to provide the highest level of quality and long life that continued operation within a garment manufacturing plant requires.

Temperature Control

Even and controlled heating of the garment is of critical importance during the curing stages of garment manufacturing. The unique design of the VCO Series U-turn ovens allows for superior temperature control. The sample graph to the left shows how we are able to bring the garment up to temperature and hold it there for the duration of the trip through the oven ensuring consistent and even curing throughout the process.

PLC Control System

Leonard Automatic is proud to feature the optional PLC Interface Control Center on the VCO Series of products. The touch screen allows for intuitive and straightforward access to all oven operational controls. Features include automated troubleshooting, maintenance schedules, alarm logs, preventative maintenance schedules, runtime history and much more. Total control is now at your fingertips.

Filtration

For ease of use and optimal performance, the installation of our optional patented Auto Filter lint filtration system virtually eliminates equipment downtime due to filter maintenance and ensures proper airflow within the oven for consistent fixation and garment quality throughout the work day.
