DTI-512 Inert Atmosphere Batch Oven
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-512 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.
