Mechanical Convection Oven Features

• Heavy gauge steel exterior and stainless steel interior, all exterior panels are at least 16 gauge, interior features reinforced 304 stainless steel.
• All welded and sealed construction assures trace oxygen levels and eliminates gas migration into insulation.
• Fiberglass insulation - 4 full inches minimizes heat loss.
• Baked on powder-coated enamel finish for long-lasting corrosion protection.
• Blue M silicone door seal design for positive sealing of door.
• Suitable for all inert gases and non flammable forming gas offers complete process flexibility (maximum 8% H2, balance N2).
• Standard safety door switch recycles purge after door is opened to maintain atmosphere integrity shuts down heaters and blowers when door is opened.

Uniform, Accurate and Reliable Temperature Control

• This mechanical convection industrial oven is vvailable with profiling or single setpoint temperature controls.
• Horizontal air flow assures uniform thermal performance under all loading conditions.
• All stainless steel cooling coil speeds cool down without risk of contamination allows near ambient operation depending on cooling water temperature.
• Exclusive Blue M inert gas controls purge timer to assure full mechanical convection industrial oven chamber inerting, pressure gauge and pressure relief valve, adjustable flowmeter and purge bypass valve.
• Exclusive Blue M gas delivery system where gas is introduced at the blower shaft that ensures proper mixing and eliminates the possibility of air being drawn into the chamber.
• Electropolished stainless blower wheel to minimize contamination maintains positive chamber pressure at all times.
• Direct Drive Motor includes multi-blade centrifugal blower, high-volume air delivery, dynamically balanced for minimum noise.
