Standard Equipment
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. Incoloy sheathed tubular heating elements. Two (2) reinforced 100 lbs uniformly distributed load capacity, nickel plated wire shelves. Models IA and IB will hold seven(7) shelves on 3" centers; Models IC and ID will hold five(5) shelves on 6" centers. 304 stainless steel interior with carbon steel blower and plated hardware. Trilite Green enamel painted aluminized steel exterior. Inert atmosphere is introduced at blower shaft (1/2" NPT) and positive oven pressure maintained by inlet pressure regulator. Atmosphere flow indicated on 0-200 CFH flow meter. Oven pressure indicated on 0-5 inch water column pressure gauge. Continuously welded inner oven construction with compression fittings at wall penetrations maintains atmosphere integrity. Atmosphere outlet equipped with pressure relief which can be manually opened to increase inert gas flow for initial purge of air from oven. Adjustable positive latching door hardware and offset hinges assure positive door seal.
