Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How big are the items that can fit in your thermal stripper?

A: We have a huge oven that measures 8 feet x 8 feet x 18 feet.

Q: What kinds of metal can be stripped?

A: We can adjust the temperature to accommodate various types of metal. This allows us to completely remove the material without harming the metal. We can burn steel, iron, brass, copper, stainless, and aluminum. For more questions, fill out the form below or dial 318-628-3288.

Q: Will the heat damage the metal?

A: No, our oven was designed by Steelman. Steelman uses a patented process where the heat enters at the top of the oven and is controlled by sensors at the top and bottom of the oven. This allows for a uniform temperature throughout the oven. No portion of the metal will ever get hot enough to cause damage.

Q: Does this process remove rust?

Yes! But only when the complete process of thermal cleaning and acid bath are completed.

Q: What are some of the items that you can strip?

Car parts: body, frames, and engine. Lawn Furniture. Pump Housings. Gratings. Heat Exchangers, etc.......

Paint and Powder: The hooks, racks, or fixtures that carry parts through a coating line accumulate over spray and lose the conductive surface that is required for a proper electrical ground. Loss of ground results in poor transfer efficiency, uneven coverage and the potential for arcing, which can cause a fire in the powder booth. The severity of these problems varies with the type of coating, the type and shape of the parts, and the design of the fixtures. Cleaning fixtures on a regular basis is the solution.

Automotive Engine and Parts Rebuilding: Automotive engine re-builders are replacing chemical cleaning systems with thermal strippers to remove the oil and grease from blocks, heads, and other components so they can be rebuilt. These ovens eliminate the disposal problems and the potential liability associated with chemicals.

Plastics Processing: Extrusion and injection molding equipment used in the production of plastic products can become covered with plastic. Traditional cleaning methods are chemical stripping or burning the unwanted plastic with a torch. Chemical stripping results in disposal costs and potential liabilities. Torching creates smoke, which can be harmful to the environment and to the employees doing the stripping. Thermal strippers do an excellent job of removing the plastic even in the small holes found in dies.
