Product details
Blue M Class A Batch Ovens are mechanical convection electric chambers that include safety features recommended in NFPA Bulletin 86 as standard for the processing of alcohol, solvent mixes or other volatiles. The design of the Class A oven chamber concedes that the element temperature may be well above the auto-ignition point of some flammable materials, but this is mitigated by maintaining a non-explosive mixture through the use of higher than normal exhaust rates. Increased heating element kW compensates for this exhaust factor. A negative pressure is maintained in the work chamber, ensuring that all hazardous vapors will be expelled through the exhaust duct and not through the oven door, blower shaft seal or apertures.
The Blue M Batch Series Class A Mechanical Convection Ovens are complete systems. No additional equipment or customized procedures are required to meet the recommendations of NFPA 86 for processing hazardous workloads.
Uniform, Accurate and Reliable Temperature Control
- Available with profiling or single set point temperature controls
- Horizontal air flow assures uniform thermal performance under most loading conditions
- Exclusive Blue M Eterna heating elements – the most reliable available, with heavy-gauge high temperature nickel chromium wire and low-watt density for longer service life
- Direct drive, multi-blade, centrifugal blower with high-volume air delivery and dynamically balanced for noise reduction
