Description
The IR1303 XTR from VACUPRESS is a top-tier infrared heating oven built for professional orthotic, prosthetic, and thermoforming workshops that require large-format capacity, precise heating, and reliable temperature control. With 24 infrared quartz tubes, advanced material-surface temperature control, and a versatile mobile cart, this oven is designed to handle large sheets, shell blanks, orthotic shells, prosthetic sockets, or multiple parts in a single batch — and deliver consistent, high-quality results.
Key Features & Benefits
-
High-power 24-tube infrared heating system: The oven uses 24 infrared-quartz tubes with reflectors, offering strong and even radiant heating across a large surface — ideal for heating big plastic sheets, shell blanks, or orthotic/prosthetic components. Two-stage switching (6 or 24 tubes) allows flexible heating intensity depending on material size.
-
Large heating chamber & mobile material cart: Internal dimensions of 1300 × 1590 × 500 mm provide ample space for large parts and multiple components. The included mobile material cart (with lockable casters, foldable holders for deep-drawing/blister-forming frames, and gas-spring adjustable height) makes loading/unloading ergonomic and efficient.
-
Surface-temperature measurement & precise PID control: Unlike conventional ovens that monitor air temperature, the IR1303 XTR uses an opto-electronic infrared sensor to measure the actual surface temperature of the material. This ensures accurate, repeatable heating and helps prevent overheating or burning of plastics — even with diverse materials or colored laminates.
-
Advanced controller with modern interface: The oven features a 3.5" touch-panel controller that displays set and actual material temperatures. It offers programmable heating cycles with ramp & soak, timer functionality, graphical heating-process display, individual maintenance notifications, multilingual UI, and software-updates via USB — making it user-friendly and future-proof.
-
Flexible operation & energy-efficient usage: With adjustable heating zones, you can activate only part of the infrared tubes when working on smaller pieces — saving energy and increasing efficiency. The system shuts off heating when the material reaches the target temperature, reducing energy waste and extending lamp life.
-
Workshop-ready construction: The oven includes a space-saving sliding door (vertically guided on ball bearings with gas-springs), double-pane viewing window for safety, internal lighting, and a stainless-steel interior — all designed to meet the demands of frequent daily use in orthotic, prosthetic or plastic-forming workshops.
Typical Use Cases
-
Pre-heating large thermoplastic sheets, EVA foils, or shell blanks for vacuum-forming insoles, foot orthoses, AFO/KAFO shells, prosthetic sockets, or large orthotic components.
-
Forming big orthotic shells or prosthetic socket molds for adult use — large enough to accommodate size-heavy parts.
-
Batch processing multiple parts or large-format pieces in a single heating cycle — ideal for labs and workshops dealing with multiple orders.
-
Preparing materials for lamination, composite lay-up, or post-forming treatments — especially when using pre-preg or layered plastics requiring precise temperature control.
-
Workshops, clinics, or manufacturing facilities requiring a reliable, high-capacity heating solution that balances speed, precision, and ergonomics.
