Exceeds AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code mandatory guidelines for heated welding rod storage
Stable, square-shaped portable welding rod oven design for easy removal of welding rods in the field, hinged lid with draw pull catch, exterior ON/OFF indicator light and more
Made in USA and CSA-listed About the KT-50 Portable Rod Oven – 50 lbs. Capacity The KT-50 is designed to store 50 lbs. of welding electrodes during transfer from large shop ovens and at the job location. Economical, lightweight and easy to carry, our KT-50 model maintain rods at ideal temperatures to prevent moisture pick-up and to optimize welds. The KT-50 out-performs most portable ovens on the market and has a solid steel construction for long product life and durability. Heavy-Duty Construction The exterior is powder-coated in KEEN blue and features a rugged handle for carrying the unit. 1" (2.54 cm) Thermal insulating wool makes oven energy-efficient and keeps electrodes hot and moisture-free. The KT-50 design features a square exterior to provide stability while standing in an upright position. The riveted, hinged lid can be secured in transit with a standard draw pull catch that prevents the lid from opening when not in use. The KT-50 comes standard with a red “ON” indicating light and an adjustable bimetal thermostat that is located beneath the bottom cover to prevent it from damage. Performance Heating. The custom-designed heating elements used on our portable ovens are part of a new class of highly energy-efficient, technologically-advanced heating elements that have a very low environmental impact. They reach maximum operating temperature in just 5-10 seconds and have a very low amperage draw enabling the oven to be extremely energy-efficient in the field. Quality Temperature Control and Electrical Safety Because of our unique self-regulating heating technology, thermostats are not a necessary safety feature for our portable ovens. The only case in which they would be necessary is if the user wants to reduce the temperature below 250°F for storing electrodes that require lower temperatures than low-hy rods.
