Despatch is the carbon fiber processing technology
expert. A critical step in making carbon fiber is the
oxidation process, and Despatch provides the finest
oxidation technology available in the world today.
Leading carbon fiber manufacturers rely on Despatch
for process integration for the large scale production
lines required to meet the demands of this rapidly
expanding market.
These high performance ovens offer industry leading
production ratings and consistent high quality
carbon fiber. Despatch Industries patented center
to ends design yields tight temperature uniformity
where you need it. Customized solutions optimize
cost of ownership, power consumption and safety.
 Design forces air to move completely parallel to
the flow of the fibers
This design allows carbon fiber ovens to operate at
consistently higher temperatures without reaching
uncontrolled exotherm
The result of this technology is that manufacturers
achieve 20% higher yields with uniform density

Energy Efficient Design |
- Entry and exit louvers open up for easy threading
- After threading, adjustable louvers can be closed to minimize heat escape and entry of outside air
- Heated air is recycled back into the heater box
- Insulated end vestibules minimize the entrainment of cold air into the process chamber while effectively removing process gasses
