Upgrading Burners and Controls on Ohio Conveyor Ovens
Many conveyor ovens have sound panels and conveyors but burners and controls that are hard to keep running. Replacement parts get scarce, temperature control drifts and nuisance trips stop the line. Ohio manufacturers with aging ovens can often replace the burner, gas train and controls instead of the whole oven. Double D installs burner and control upgrades on conveyor cure ovens.

Frequent flame failures, hard starts, temperature swings, hard-to-find parts and controllers that no longer read accurately all point to a heat system upgrade.
- Nuisance lockouts and flame failures
- Temperature swings during production
- Obsolete controller or flame safeguard
- Rising gas use without a production change
Burner and gas train replacement
A new burner sized to the oven, with a gas train that includes current safety valves, regulators and switches, brings reliability back. Combustion air and gas pressure are checked and the burner is tuned at startup.
Controls and interlocks
New temperature controllers, flame safeguards and interlocks for purge, exhaust and recirculation airflow bring the oven up to a cleaner control scheme. Clear status indicators help operators diagnose trips.
Working around production
Upgrades are often done during planned shutdowns. Prefabricating gas train assemblies and staging equipment shortens the outage.
Planning a booth or oven project in Ohio
Crews mobilize from Houston; Ohio is roughly 1,000 miles away, so equipment, panels and tooling are staged and shipped ahead of the install crew.
Manufacturing in Ohio is concentrated around Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Toledo. The sectors most likely to be specifying spray booths, blast rooms, powder systems and cure ovens there include automotive assembly and suppliers, aerospace, steel and metal fabrication, and semiconductors.
Cold winters mean make-up air heaters are sized for sub-freezing intake, and booth or oven placement has to account for frost lines, snow loads on roof penetrations and winter slab work.
Frequently asked questions
Can we keep the oven and replace only the burner?
Often. If panels and conveyor are sound, a burner and control upgrade can extend oven life.
Why does our oven keep locking out?
Flame sensor issues, gas pressure problems, airflow switch faults or aging flame safeguards are common causes.
Will a new burner lower gas use?
It can, if the old burner was poorly tuned or oversized. Results depend on the oven.
How long does an upgrade take?
It depends on scope. Prefabrication helps fit the work into a shutdown.
Do you upgrade ovens from other manufacturers?
Yes. Burner and control upgrades apply across most oven designs.
