Apart from the inherent increase in efficiency that is achieved by using Gas Infra Red, Vulcan has developed state-of-the-art UL approved PLC controls, which incorporate our unique Gas Pulse System (GPS). This provides a methodology for creating zones within the oven that can be controlled to give the right amount of heat in the right place, thus reducing the amount of wasted energy.The GPS carefully meters precise volumes of gas which is pulsed through each heater, ensuring ideal heat output while allowing for multi zoned heating arrays.

The Vulcan Gas Pulse Control System incorporates a recipe-based menu which interfaces with digital output cards. Operators merely call up the recipe on the touch-sensitive screen and the system automatically sets the heat output to suit the part type.
Additionally, during production downtime, the oven can be switched into a Lo-Fire state, which reduces the gas input to the minimum required to maintain the catalytic reaction. This equates to about 15% of the full load output. The transition back to Hi-Fire is less than 60 seconds. This further adds to the potential energy savings of a Vulcan system.
