The Pollution Control Products (PCP) DC-3A Oven is an industrial-grade burn-off oven designed for safe, efficient removal of paints, coatings, oils, carbon deposits, grease, and other combustibles from metal engine parts, castings, housings, and machine components. Using controlled pyrolysis and an integrated afterburner system, the DC-3A breaks down organic contaminants without damaging the underlying metal — making it ideal for engine blocks, heads, tooling, industrial castings, and more.
As a used unit, the DC-3A offers a cost-effective way to add a professional parts-cleaning oven to your shop. It gives you many of the benefits of a new burn-off oven — thorough cleaning, emission control, and reduced labor — at lower upfront cost, which is especially advantageous for shops doing regular strip-and-clean cycles or mixed workloads.
Controlled Pyrolysis Burn-Off Process — Gentle, oxygen-regulated burn cycles safely remove paint, carbon, grease, and coatings without harming base metal.
Integrated Afterburner for Clean Emissions — Smoke, odor, and VOCs generated during burn-off are consumed in a high-temperature afterburner, helping maintain shop air quality and compliance.
Large Capacity Oven Chamber — Sized to accommodate engine blocks, cylinder heads, housings, and large castings — ideal for automotive, diesel, and industrial parts cleaning.
Durable Industrial Construction — Built with heavy-duty insulation, refractory-lined chamber, and rugged exterior for long service life in demanding shop environments.
Reduces Manual Cleaning Labor & Chemical Use — Eliminates repeated manual scrubbing, chemical soak baths, or abrasive cleaning for many jobs — saving time and consumables.
Efficient & Repeatable Cleaning Cycles — Provides consistent, repeatable removal of contaminants, which helps standardize prep work and improve turnaround times.
Versatile Applications — Useful for engine-rebuilders, remanufacturers, machine shops, industrial maintenance — anywhere castings or metal parts need a clean start before machining, painting, or re-assembly.

Your machine’s long-term performance is our priority.
Decades before today’s engine shops trusted our equipment, Tony was already deep in the craft — rebuilding motors, machining blocks, and pushing for better precision.
A local newspaper once featured him as a standout young machinist, noting his drive, attention to detail, and obsession with doing things the right way. That same passion would eventually shape our company’s values.
Today, that commitment lives on in every machine we sell, every customer we support, and every shop we help succeed.
