The Gas Stove Production Test Bench (Model WH-SP-Line) is a line-ready final QC station built directly into gas cooker and gas stove production lines. Where the standalone gas stove test bench is a flexible platform for QC and type testing, the WH-SP-Line is engineered for continuous throughput: multi-channel action and tightness testing, automatic pass/fail judgment and conveyor or MES integration, so every stove that leaves the line is verified without adding manual cycle time.
This is the station B2B buyers mean when they search for a gas stove test bench for factory deployment. It supports 100% factory inspection, lets quality teams prove per-batch safety to importers, and removes the variability of hand-held checks.
What the Line Station Tests
- Gas valve action — correct opening/closing operation across rated and boundary conditions.
- Gas tightness — multi-channel pressure-decay leak detection on every manifold and joint.
- Ignition & flame stability — ignition success and flame retention at the rated pressure.
- Flame failure protection — shut-off timing and safety verification.
- Final functional check — end-of-line pass/fail before packing, with automatic reporting.
Standards & Compliance
The station is configured to EN 30-1-1, GB 16410 and IEC 60335-2-102, applying the standard’s gas-tightness and safety thresholds with automated judgment. For a dedicated leak-only station, see the gas stove gas tightness test bench; compliance evidence is summarized on certifications & compliance.
How It Integrates With a Production Line
- Stations are installed along the final line; each stove is connected automatically or by the operator.
- Multi-channel valves and sensors run action and tightness tests in parallel to minimise cycle time.
- The PLC compares readings with limits and drives a pass/fail indicator or diverter.
- Results are written to MES/SPC by serial number for traceability and customer audit.
Line Integration & Throughput
| Requirement | How the bench delivers |
|---|
| PLC / MES connectivity | Standard industrial interfaces to exchange test results with the line control system |
| High throughput | Parallel stations and a fixed cycle time matched to the line takt |
| Automatic pass/fail | Programmed limits and clear go/no-go indication at the station |
| Traceability | Stored results and reports keyed to serial number |
| Gas flexibility | Programs for LPG, natural gas or town gas with quick changeover |
Single-Station vs. Multi-Station Lines
| Layout | Best for |
|---|
| Single station | Lower-volume or mixed-model cooker lines |
| Multi-station line | High-volume production where the test is split across stations |
| Integrated with assembly | Final inspection integrated into the production flow |
Key Features
- Multi-channel action and tightness testing for high-volume flow.
- Automatic pass/fail judgment — no manual interpretation.
- PLC/MES integration and per-unit traceable reports.
- 1–6 stations and line layout customised to your throughput.
- CE / ISO-oriented design with 100% factory inspection support.
Factory Deployment & Applications
Typical users are high-volume gas cooker and integrated-stove manufacturers, OEM/ODM plants and export factories that must provide per-batch evidence. The multi-station approach is demonstrated in the integrated cooker test bench case and the Thailand export QC line. For laboratory type testing rather than production flow, use the combi boiler test rig or the gas appliance test bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
What throughput can the WH-SP-Line handle?
Throughput depends on station count and test items; multi-channel parallel testing is designed for continuous line flow. Send your target units per hour and Wanhe will propose the station number and layout.
Can it connect to our MES and diverters?
Yes. The PLC exposes results for MES/SPC and can trigger pass/fail indicators or automated diverters; see custom lead time.
Is it only for gas tightness?
No. It covers valve action, tightness, ignition, flame stability and flame failure; if you need tightness alone, choose the dedicated gas tightness bench.
