Type / Configuration


	External Configuration
	Your choices are...
	Bench / Cabinet		Cabinet or bench units describe small batch equipment typically mounted on an integral floor stand. Batch units are typically suited for processing small batches.
	Continuous (Convey, Shuttle)		In general, continuous units tend to be oriented toward automated production for large quantities of small-to-medium sized products. The type of conveyance system used (direct-through conveyors or back-forth shuttles), depends upon the product line, volume of work to be produced and required temperature.
	Front Load (incl. Walk-in, Truck-in)		Front loading units allow side entry to the heating area for batch processing. They are often walk-in or truck-in ovens with double doors, carts, shelves, etc. Batch units are typically suited for processing larger quantities of material in a single batch.
	Top Load (Crucible, Melting)		In top loading units, the material is placed down into the heating area. A crucible may be used to convey the material and the unit will likely have a cover.
	Vertical Load (Bell Lift)		A vertical loading unit is a space-saving configuration where entry is gained from a platen that is either raised into the heating area or, as in a bell-lift configuration; the heating area is lowered onto a platen.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary configuration.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Internal Configuration
	Your choices are...
	Cold Sterilization		The autoclave uses a cold sterilization liquid to sterilize the contents. Cold sterilization liquids have been developed to enable the sterilization or high-level disinfection of medical equipment that cannot be heat sterilized.
	Dry Heat		The autoclave uses dry heat to sterilize its contents.
	Gas		The autoclave uses a gas to sterilize its contents. It is a low humidity process that requires little drying time.
	Steam		The autoclave uses steam to sterilize its contents.
	Ultraviolet		Ultraviolet sterilizers produce UV light exerting a lethal effect on unwanted disease causing organisms. They can destroy pathogens, bacteria, mold spores, yeast, protozoa, fungi and algae.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Heating and Control


	Heat Source / Transfer:
	Your choices are...
	Combustion		Ovens and kilns using heat generated by combustion of gas, oil, biomass, waste products, or other fuels. The combusted gas may heat the material being processed directly or indirectly.
	Electric / Resistance		Oven heat source is powered by electricity - typically utilizing existing factory voltages.
	Indirect / Contact / Conduction		Walls, tubes, jackets, or discs are heated by steam, gas, thermal oil, or hot air. These heated elements transfer their heat to materials that come in contact with them via conduction.
	Steam		Oven heat source is steam, typically tapping off existing factory steam lines.
	Other		Other unlisted or proprietary heat source.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Fuel
	Your choices are...
	Natural Gas		Oven heat source is powered via natural gas.
	Propane		Propane, sometimes indicated as liquefied petroleum (LP), is a catchall term for propane, butane, and mixtures of the two. It also includes propylene and butylene, which are sometimes included in blends, mostly outside the United States and Canada. In North America, propane is the most likely to be available in industrial quantities. Nearly any natural gas burner will operate on propane with little or no sacrifice in performance.
	Oil		Oven heat source is powered by oil heaters.
	Other Fuel		Fuel other than natural gas, oil, or propane used in combustion units.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Application / Industry



	Your choices are...
	Industrial		Industrial ovens are typically either batch or continuous process insulated enclosures or tunnels used for thermal processing.
	Laboratory		Laboratory ovens are used in a variety of thermal processing applications including general lab work, component and stability testing, core hardening, drying glassware, and sterilizing.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Application:
	Your choices are...
	Aging		Aging describes a time/temperature-dependent change in the properties of certain alloys.
	Baking / Dewaxing		Baking involves heating to a low temperature in order to remove entrained gases.
	Burn-off		Burn-off removes cured paint, epoxies, and plastics from metal parts and other materials.
	Curing / Vulcanizing		Curing uses temperature to alter heated media by chemical or physical processing changes.
	Hot Pressing / Bonding		Hot pressing is a method used to densify a material, whereby heat and pressure are applied simultaneously and the pressure is typically applied unidirectionally via rigid tooling.
	Sterilizing		Sterilizing ovens may be used to heat objects to temperatures high enough to kill bacteria and germs.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary applications.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Features


	Features
	Your choices are...
	Alarms		The unit has integral alarms that ring, flash, or otherwise display information when temperature setpoints are exceeded or fallen below.
	Air Filtration		The oven includes an air filtration system to remove impurities in the airflow.
	Cooling System		An integrated cooling system aids in bringing the interior temperature of the oven down quickly to facilitate entry, cleaning, inspection, etc. This may be performed with or without the heated media inside.
	Explosion Proof		The oven is constructed to minimize the dangers of exploding media within, due to extreme temperatures. Class A ovens are included in this designation.
	Front Panel & Display		Integral controls, keypad, and/or display on the panel of the unit.
	Logging / Recorder Options		The unit includes a data logger or chart recorder for monitoring operational history.
	Shelving / Racks / Carts		Shelves are available in several configurations. Typically shelves rest on rails that are attached to the side of the oven via keyhole slots. As a variation on this theme, roller shelves, which allow the load to be moved in and out of the oven with minimal effort, can be used. Roller shelves also are useful when product has to be picked up with an overhead hoist or crane. For truck-in or walk-in style units, carts typically come in three configurations -- shelf, hanging or flatbed. Each style can be rated to different weights for varying processes, and each style tends to be more compatible with a particular airflow.
	Timers		The unit has a timer that may be used for process or to automate turn-on and shutdown timing.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Controller Type:		Ovens may have either a single set point or a programmable controller to adjust temperature and temperature stability.
	Your choices are...
	Single Set Point		Oven has a specific temperature point to reach upon activation.
	Programmable		Oven may be programmed to reach different temperatures at different time intervals.
	Search Logic:		Products with the selected attribute will be returned as matches. Leaving or selecting "No Preference" will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
