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.

  • All Models
    — 208 volts, 3-phase, 60 Hz
    — 230 volts, 3-phase, 60 Hz
    — 460 volts, 3-phase, 60 Hz
    — Other electrical characteristics available

    Exclusive construction is far superior to commonly used panel construction. Consists of an isolated inner oven completely surrounded by insulation to eliminate heat transfer from through metal and hot air leakage at panel seams. Insulated floor standard. Trilite Green enamel painted aluminized steel exterior.

  • Electric Models
    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 elements on all models. The 1200°F models have a heat chamber high limit control.

  • Gas Models
    — 1,000 BTU natural gas at 6" water column pressure, 1" NPT inlet
    — Other gas characteristics available

    Control panel as detailed above and safety devices as listed on the front of this bulletin. A 325 CFM powered forced exhauster is included up to 700,000 BTU/HR; at 800,000 BTU/HR a 650 CFM exhauster is included. Both exhausters have 6" outlets. Automatic pre-ignition purge period and push button electric ignition contributes to ease of operation. Modulating gas burner is protected with electronic flame safety relay.

  • B1, B2, B3, B4 SERIES
    Combination Air Flow
    Combination air flow for random shapes and sizes or for large bulky objects where heated air can move upward around and through the load.

    B1H, B2H, B3H, B4H SERIES
    Horizontal Air Flow
    Horizontal air flow for applications where heated air must move sideways to pass through a load such as trays or flat sheets.

  • 850°F Models
    16 gauge aluminized steel interior throughout; 7" of 1250°F 10 lbs/cf density industrial rockwool insulation throughout walls, doors and ceiling; 4" thick insulated floor with 1/8" steel plate cover.

  • 1000°F Models
    16 gauge aluminized steel work space interior with 16 gauge 304 stainless steel heat chamber interior. Stainless steel recirculating blower. 8" of 1250°F 10 lbs/cf density industrial rockwool insulation throughout walls, doors and ceiling of work space. Oven heat chamber insulated with 2" of 1900°F block surrounded by 6" of 1250°F 10 lbs/cf density industrial rockwool insulation. 6" thick insulated floor with 1/4" steel plate cover.

  • 1200°F Models
    16 gauge 304 stainless steel interior throughout. Stainless steel recirculating blower. 10" of insulation consisting of 2" of 1900°F block, surrounded by 8" of 1250°F 10 lbs/cf density industrial rockwool insulation throughout walls, doors and ceiling. 7" thick insulated floor with 1/4" stainless steel plate cover.
