  CAUTION: OVENS PROCESSING COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL ARE REQUIRED BY NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION STANDARD 86 TO HAVE A FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM. IF FLAMMABLE SOLVENTS OR VAPORS ARE PRESENT IN AN OVEN, OSHA REQUIRES CONFORMANCE WITH NFPA 86 WHICH DEFINES OVENS FOR THESE APPLICATIONS AS CLASS A OVENS. A POWERED FORCED EXHAUSTER AND OTHER NON-STANDARD SAFETY EQUIPMENT MUST BE ADDED. SEE BULLETIN TC-940 AND CONSULT FACTORY.

  *Blower motor extends 9.5" above. Control panel overhang 9" right side.
‡Model 323 has two (2) heating elements which result in an open delta heater connection on 3-phase electrical service.		   †Accuracy as percent of controller span. Uniformity at 50°F below maximum temperature. Rise Time in minutes to 50°F below maximum temperature. Tests run with empty oven and minimum exhaust. Performance will vary with load, exhaust rate and application. See Bulletin TC-920 for additional details.
STANDARD EQUIPMENT   Back to Top
• All Models
— 208 volts, 3-phase, 60 Hz
— 230 volts, 3-phase, 60 Hz
— 460 volts, 3-phase, 60 Hz
— Other electrical characteristics available

Each features completely wired, side access UL listed control panel enclosing terminals for incoming power, temperature controllers, push buttons and pilot lights. Motor starter and heating element contactors electrically interlocked to shut off heaters if power to blower is interrupted and to permit operation of blower without heat for cooling. Incoloy sheathed tubular heating element.

Two (2) reinforced 50 lbs uniformly distributed load capacity nickel plated wire shelves; ten (10) pair shelf support channels on 3" centers; 200 lbs maximum oven load.

304 stainless steel interior with carbon steel blower and plated hardware. Trilite Green enamel painted aluminized steel exterior. Exhaust outlet 4" diameter.

MODEL 323
Designed specifically to fit through a standard 30" wide door opening, when fully assembled. This model provides a generous 16 cubic feet of work space.

MODEL 333
Provides a roomy 27 cubic feet of work space -- 70% more capacity at only a little more cost than our Model 323.

MODEL 343
It's a full foot deeper than Model 333. Ideal for longer or larger items and bigger batches. A giant 36 cubic feet of work space..
