The ITS R&D Lab Tests Scenarios
and Resolves Dilemmas
ITS R&D department assists customers to confirm or develop the optimal process
parameters, and provide scientific support that the customer will obtain the
specified process parameters before committing to the capital expenditure.
R&D plays a significant role in the ITS proactive approach to serve the customer
through:
4 Complete heat process tests are conducted in the ITS R&D laboratory to prove out the
process parameters prior to manufacturing.
4 Proprietary heat transfer computer software simulates the heating process with
proven accuracy for the application where customer’s product is unavailable
or it is not well suited for testing in a laboratory environment.
4 Research in R&D is managed by a PhD in thermal science and is a US patent holder.
R & D Equipment and Capability
4 Gas fired oven with adjustable 4 sided air flow with capacity to 6000FPM and 650F.
4 ITS patented technology Turbo flow test oven with maximum operating temperatures up to 450F.
4 Electrical batch oven with maximum operating temperature of 360F.
4 Ambient air cooler with adjustable top and side air flow capable of velocities
up to 4000 FPM.
4 Gas fired two-zone conveyorized oven with adjustable 4 sided air flow with
capacity

4 Radiation and Induction heating equipment.
4 Motor varnish test equipment.
4 Powder coating equipment.
4 Weight scale with accuracy of 0.001 grams for solvent, oil spraying/removing
applications.
ITS R&D Works Closely with Local Universities
Currently, ITS R&D is cooperating with UW-Milwaukee on a nanoparticle coating project funded by
the National Science Foundation of the United States. (posted December 2009)
