Customer directive

Our customer wanted to create an indexing single part flow inert atmosphere production furnace system to match, and seamlessly integrate into, the customer’s entire existing manufacturing process at a production rate of 45 seconds part to part. The customer’s then existing process included inefficient batch furnace staging of parts at this point in the process.


Description

The DTI-233 inert atmosphere batch oven is used in the carbonizing process of a ceramic product. This industrial oven operates under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen) and a positive pressure of 1.5″ WG.  This oven utilizes a rack system that contains five (5) product shelves.  The product is put on the shelves and loaded into the inert atmosphere oven. The oven is designed for a maximum capacity of 1,500 pounds of product.
