Thermal Product Solutions (TPS), a global manufacturer of thermal-processing equipment, announced the shipment of a Blue M Ultra-Temp Standard Convection Oven to the Orthodontics industry. The convection oven will be used for a metal injection molding debind process at temperatures of 390°F and 1050°F.
The Blue M oven work chamber is 48” W x 24” D x 36” H and has a maximum temperature rating of 1300°F. The customer’s parts will be placed on ceramic trays then run through the debind cycle that usually lasts 14 to 16-hour cycle. The process off gasses some non-hazardous fumes that condense into a form of wax. The parts are loaded into the oven via a lift truck.
The oven has a powered exhaust with VFD for pulling out non-hazardous fumes coming from the products during the de-binding process. The VFD will enable the customer to adjust the exhaust motor speed to reduce or increase the exhaust flow rate.
Unique features of these Blue M ovens include:
- Powered exhaust
- Reinforced chamber floor to hold up to 500-lbs distributed load
- 6-inch high angle iron floor stand to raise the oven and allow customer to insert their lift truck under the oven to load their product into the oven work space
