FRONT-TO-BACK
HORIZONTAL AIR FLOW
UNIVERSAL OVENS

 

Front-to-back horizontal air flow accommodates virtually any oven loading without restricting air passage. Work can be shelf loaded or placed directly on the optional reinforced work space bottom. Four sizes from 8 to 36 cubic feet. Designed for annealing, sintering, hardening or any other application where a dependable source of heated air up to 1250°F is required.

  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.

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, top 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. Exhaust outlet 4" diameter.

Incoloy sheathed tubular heating elements on all models. The 1250°F models have a heat chamber high limit controller.

Two (2) reinforced 100 lbs uniformly distributed load capacity 304 stainless steel expanded metal shelves. Trilite Green enamel painted aluminized steel exterior. Insulated with 2" of 1900°F insulating block backed up with 1250°F industrial rockwool.


 

 

 Door seal utilizing inner and outer door gaskets. The inner gasket seals directly against the door plug; the outer gasket seals directly against the front face of the oven. This design greatly reduces the amount of heat transferred through the throat
area and helps keep the front face of the oven cool.


 • AA and AF Series
Provides 8 cubic feet and 12 cubic feet of work space respectively. The AF Series is 12" deeper than the AA Series to handle more or longer parts. Temperature ranges to 1050°F and 1250°F. Accommodates seven(7) shelves on 3" centers.


 • AB and AG Series
Our larger Universal ovens with work space of 27 cubic feet and 36 cubic feet respectively. The AG Series is 12" deeper than the AB Series to accommodate longer parts and bigger batches. Temperature ranges to 1050°F and 1250°F. Accommodates five(5) shelves on 6" centers.
