DTI-512 Inert Atmosphere Batch Oven

This inert atmosphere batch oven is used in the plastics industry. Approximately 8,000 pounds of product (plastic rods) are loaded into the inert atmosphere oven via a custom product cart. The purge cycle is automatic, and nitrogen is supplied to the chamber on high flow until the oxygen analyzer reaches 5%. The nitrogen is then provided on low flow until the oxygen analyzer reaches 2%, allowing the heating cycle to begin.

The oven ramps up to 450 °F in eight (8) hours. The product then soaks at 450 °F for sixteen (16) hours. At the completion of the heating cycle, the product is cooled downed to 150 °F in twelve (12) hours. Cooling is provided by a cooling coil. This inert atmosphere oven operates under a positive pressure.
