SierraTherm 4500 Series
Conveyor Dryers & Curing Ovens
The SierraTherm 4500 Series Conveyorized Drying Ovens are available as free standing units or they can be attached in-line to a high temperature series furnace for pre-dry before firing. The 4500 series are rated for temperatures to 300° C for applications such as Thick Film Ink drying, Epoxy Curing, and any other low temperature process.
Advantages
- Super efficient power-saving insulation reduces energy bills.
- Innovative atmosphere distribution and management eliminates thermal shock.
- Vigorous extraction of burn-off effluents across entire chamber width improves yields.
- Integrated burn-off condensate entrapment/collector inhibits process contamination.
- Stable, unsurpassed temperature uniformity control ensures consistent "firing" results.
- Air or Nitrogen atmospheres.
Included as standard equipment on the 4500 Series is the powerful and convenient Windows-based MicroTherm PC Control, Profiling, and Monitoring System, first developedand introduced by SierraTherm in 1992.
