These rugged bench ovens are designed for a wide variety of industrial heat processing applications including those where flammable solvents or vapors will be present in the oven.

Model NBS-400 meets the requirements of OSHA and National Fire Protection Association Standard 86 for Class A ovens. Not for use in hazardous locations as defined in the National Electric Code.

Operating Characteristics

  • 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 and application

Certifications

  • Meets the Requirements of the Following Standards:
  • NFPA 86 (Standard for Ovens and Furnaces)
  • NFPA 70 (National Electric Code)
  • OSHA

Caution:

  • When processing combustible material fire protection should be considered
  • Designed for processing maximum of 3 ounces (0.024 gallons) flammable solvents or vapors per batch at a maximum temperature of 400°F. Do not exceed this solvent volume.

Safety Equipment

  • Adjustable manual reset excess temperature interlock to turn off heat on malfunction of main temperature controller
  • Separate heating element control contactors to turn off heat on malfunction of main control contactors
  • Recirculating blower air flow safety switch to turn off heat on loss of recirculated air flow

Standard & custom-made Grieve ovens in action

*** CAUTION:  Ovens processing combustible material are required by National Fire Protection Association 86 Standard for Ovens and Furnaces (NFPA 86) to have a fire suppression system.  If flammable solvents or vapors are present in an oven, OSHA requires conformance with NFPA 86 Class A Oven requirements.  A powered forced exhauster and other non-standard safety equipment must be added.
